Serial number 37986 for 1900. The blade etched “Presented to Lieut. & Quarter Master J. W. May. R. H. Arty. by some brother officers and friends 1900”. The fact this is a Patent Solid hilt is confirmed both by the special Wilkinson Sword logo and the wide tang forming part of the grip itself.
35 Inch blade is in very good condition and firm in the hilt. The hilt / guard has some tarnish and spotting but is otherwise good. The grip in good condition. There is no scabbard; if there were, we would be asking over twice the price we are.
Wilkinson Patent Solid Hilts are in high demand and we are sure, at this price, this one will not remain unsold for long. Grab it quick; £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference V61 (1000). Further / full sized images available upon request.
