British RN Junior Officer's / Master at Arms
Wilkinson Sword, Sold |
In very good, possibly serving officer use condition, a British
Royal Naval Junior Officer's / Master at Arms Wilkinson Sword with
sword knot and all weather bag.
With serial number 102309 for 1973, this Wilkinson Sword may well
be of interest to serving officers as well as collectors.
The 31 inch plain blade is in good condition, some patina spots,
the ricasso Wilkinson trademark etching a little rubbed, etc. Blade
firm in hilt; the hilt retaining most gilt. The grip in good condition,
a couple of twisted grip wires a tiny little bit wayward, nothing
much. The knot is good but a small amount of fraying (one strand).
The scabbard is overall good with a slight kink one side. The folding
guard section works well and located onto the locking pin of the
top scabbard locket as it should. The all weather bag with some
age but still able to do its job. The sword sheathes and draws very
well.
One of the few Wilkinson Swords available, a great price. Please
quote item reference M65 (1256). Further / full sized images available
upon request.
