In overall very good condition, a WW1 era Mole made Rifle Regiment Officer's Sword, Ranken & Co Calcutta (made by Robert Mole & Son).

The 32 1/3 inch blade is in good condition, oiled now for preservation, very well etched, firm in the hilt. The plated steel hilt has some tiny spotting. The grip and grip wire are both good. The leather field service scabbard and belts are in good order. The sword sheathes and draws well.

A scarce sword due to the "Ranken & Co" etching. A great buy for £? . Please quote item reference Q84 (0419). Further / full sized images available upon request.
