Serial number 43394 for 10th February 1912, the Wilkinson sales ledger states this sword was bought by W.D.O. Kemmins, 6th Innes Dgns; that is William Daryl Olphert Kemmis of the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons Guards. We have not been able to find his picture online, but we found a photo of his car! Plus some of his video library.
The well etched 34 3/4 inch blade is in very good condition and firm in the hilt. The guard / hilt with period chemical browning is in good condition. The hardwood or horn grip is in very good condition, save for a small chip close to the inside of the bowl guard; the twisted grrip wire bindings are also good. The leather field service scabbard is aged and worn with scuffs etc but remains good for its age and service. The sword sheathes and draws well.
Great example with provenance and in above average condition, a true best buy at £1200. Please quoteitem reference AI85. Further / full sized images available upon request. Box 2190 118 x 20 x 20 (2.76).
