WW1 / GRI British Indian Infantry Officer's Sword, Robert Mole, Sold

A WW1 / GRI British Indian Infantry Officer's Sword, Robert Mole, issued.

A scarce sword made scarcer courtesy the fact this one was issued to an officer serving in British India.

The 32 1/3 inch blade is worn with patina / rust spots, firm in the hilt. The hilt / guard with rust spots to the front, a light rusting inside. The grip and twisted grip wire in good shape. The plated steel scabbard has rust patches and spots but is overall sound. The sword sheathes and draws but loosely.

Mole was a quality maker and this one of theirs is made more collectible as it is a War Department issued sword. Yours for £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference R54 (0536). Further / full sized images available upon request.
