Wilkinson marked ERII British Rifle Regiment
Officer's Sword, sold |
In very good even parade ground condition, a British ERII Rifle
Regiment Officer's Sword and scabbard, marked to Wilkinson Sword.


Please be aware, there is no serial number on the spine of the
blade of this sword, which means that it either was not actually
made by Wilkinson Sword, or that it was never sold by them (that
is, perhaps it was a Wilkinson stock sword). Being an ERII sword
of very high quality, the same quality as we expect from a Wilkinson
Sword (rather than a German or worse, Indian sub-continent made
sword, which are nowhere near as good as British / Wilkinson made
swords), we are certain that it is English made and truly can not
believe it was made by anyone other than Wilkinson's due to the
high quality.


The 32 inch blade is well etched, including ERII cypher and rifle
regiment emblem. There are a few, not many, small specks to the
blade, mostly away from the etching. The blade is firm in the hilt.
The steel hilt is in very good condition, as are the faux fishskin
grip and associated twisted grip wire bindings. The steel scabbard
is also very good, and the sword sheathes and draws particularly
well (it is so smooth and yet firm the quality stands out).
If this sword had a serial number, we would offer it at £750.
However, as it does not have a serial number, it can be yours for
just £(price removed). Please quote item reference H30. Further
/ full sized images available upon request.
