Guest Posted 4 January , 2019 Share Posted 4 January , 2019 (edited) I have a sword a friend owns and he is attempting to gain information about the sword. The scabbard is stamped 1917AD and various tool marks on the blade. Edited 4 January , 2019 by Guest Added photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools mckenna Posted 4 January , 2019 Share Posted 4 January , 2019 (edited) 1908 pattern cavalry trooper sword. I'm guessing not private purchase due to the arrow. I'm guessing "401" is the inventory number. Edited 4 January , 2019 by Jools mckenna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good WWI linked unit (SEE HERE) Chris Edited 4 January , 2019 by 4thGordons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trajan Posted 5 January , 2019 Share Posted 5 January , 2019 14 hours ago, Radlad said: B Squadron, 19th Alberta Dragoons ? B.SQD. = B Squadron D troop? Just a guess! GB and Commonwealth cavalry NOT my forte! Or simply - probably! - SQ[ua]D[ron]? Buts what's the "C/5.26"? Sent somewhere for checking / inspection in May 1926?
