Virtually mint condition Wilkinson made (1988) British Royal Naval
Master at Arms sword and scabbard; also suitable for junior officer.
In virtually mint condition, this Wilkinson made Royal Navy Master-at-Arms
sword has gilt that sparkles like new and a virtually flawless blade,
together wth superb black fishskin grip. Apparently the sword was
purchased by a Naval College and had sat in a cupbaord ever since;
so now the British know where all their tax goes! The only "flaw"
is the locking pin on the scabbard needs to be bent upwards a little
more for the folding guard to lock properly; something you hardly
notice and something I will leave for the next owner to decide upon.
Lovely sword in first rate condition; everything firm and as it
should be. This would make a superb present for a naval warrant
or chief petty officer, or even a junior officer. As Wilkinson went
out of business yet are so well though of, this is a scarce and
increasinly getting scacer chance to own one of the finest British
swords ever. As the 31 inch blade is plain (no Royal Cypher), this
sword will remain current until the pattern changes (not likely
at all).
