George VI / WW2 British Royal Marines Officers Sword, Sold

In sound condition, a George VI / WW2 British Royal Marines Officers Sword.

No maker's / retailer's name etched to the blade, sos likely 1940+

The 32 1/2 inch replated blade is sound, the etching feint, some small patches of plating lost / patina, firm in the hilt. The hilt overall good, as is the grip and twisted grip wire bindings. The plated steel scabbard is sound but the plating clouded and with many small patina patches. The sword sheathes and draws well.

Could do with some TLC but at only £? (too late, now sold), a real gem! Please quote item reference U27 (0869). Further / full sized images available upon request.
