A recently discovered, early 1908 Pattern Cavalry Troopers Sword by Enfield.
This Mk1 example with a broad arrow and inspection markings to the pommel and bowl guard, has with serrations for the buff leather washer but not drilled for the washer pin.
Regulation 35 inch single fullered blade, which is dated to December 1914, along with various other inspection markings to both ricasso's, and the pattern designation"P'08" to the spine.
The regulation steel scabbard with twin fixed rings also carries various inspection markings, was manufctured by Enfield, with a date of 1912. It also carries various unit markings to both sides of the mouthpiece.
In very much "as found" condition, the blade service sharpened, old grease, and light pitting. Original paint to the interior of the bowl guard, which has some dings and dents. The hilt and scabbard with matching and even patina, various dings/dents and a slight bend, but it hasn't effected the blade, which is still straight. The pommel, guard and grip still tight. By no means a perfect example, but a very good untouched WW1 cavalry sword with room for improvement.
Strictly over 18's only. Photo ID will be required before this item can be dispatched. Please send this at the time of ordering, to prevent unnecessary delay in your order being dispatched.
