WW1 / George V British Rifle Regiment Officer's Sword, Sheffield, Sold

A WW1 / George V British Rifle Regiment Officer's Sword by Hawksworth, Sheffield.

A nice Sheffield made WW1 era rifle regiment sword. Some damaged (denting) to hilt which may well be rectifiable. Otherwise a good clean sword.

The 32 inch blade is faintly but nicely etched and firm in the hilt. The hilt / guard with some knocks but otherwise overall good. Grip in good condition. Leather knot and scabbard a little aged with some wear but overall both good. The sword sheathes and draws well.

Nice sword, good price; £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference R81 (0561). Further / full sized images available upon request.
