WW1 / GV British Army Officer's Sword, sold

In good condition (slight bending to the hilt), a WW1 / GV British Army Officer's Sword marked to the Army, Navy & Co-Operative Society.

Slightly pronounced inward curvature of the outer section may be by design or by wear / accident. Most people would not notice this, but we have.

The 32 3/4 inch blade has been period replated (the brass proof slug has not been over-plated), so the etching is very feint. But the blade is very good and firm in the hilt. The nickel plated hilt is in good condition as is the grip and twisted grip wire. Leather sword knot is aged but sound. The field service leather scabbard is good. The sword sheathes and draws well.

Very nice looking sword. Just £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference R99 (0604). Further / full sized images available upon request.
