ERII British Rifle Brigade Named Officer's Wilkinson Sword, sold

In very good, near / even parade ground condition, an ERII British Rifle Brigade / Royal Green Jackets Named Officer's Wilkinson Sword.

Serial number 83564 for 1961, etched with the badge and Waterloo battle honours for the Rifle Brigade, this is the former property of Captain Michael Arnison-Newgass of the Royal Green Jackets.

The 32 1/4 inch blade is in very good condition with the etching still vivid. The blade is firm in the hilt. The hilt also in very good condition, some slight flecks appearing (a good polish such as Simichrome may well vastly improve these). The black possibly faux fishskin grip and associated grip wire bindings in very good condition. The plated steel scabbard very good, some specks as with the hilt. The sword sheathes and draws well.

Lovely sword with the potential to make immaculate with some TLC and Simichrome. A great but, just £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference number W36 (1145). Further / full sized pictures available upon request.
