Mole 1895 Pattern Victorian British Infantry Officer's Sword, sold

In good condition, a good Mole 1895 Pattern Victorian British Infantry Officer's Sword, serial number M2414.

Many people consider Mole (maker to the War & India Office) to have been the premier sword maker of the time, and with good reason. This is an exceptional scarce 1895P infantry officer's sword.

The 32 1/2 inch blade is in very good condition and firm in the hilt. The steel hilt is very good save for a light inert rusting around the sword knot slot and some speckles inside the guard. The fishskin grip is in very good condition though with a little wear and fading. The associated silver metal twisted grip wire bindings in good order. The lovely late Victorian era leather and still fittings scabbard with some age but very good for age. The sword sheathes and draws very well.

A great sword in well above average condition. Our price: £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference number W70 (1200). Further / full sized pictures available upon request.
