Hello Pieter,

With regards to your post your friend might have a copy of the Monte Cassino Cross since 12397 is one of those original crosses copied quiet a lot, although Artur was correct in naming the recipient I would inform your friend that he might have a copy.

Best wishes

Beautiful collection.

Would a Kapral have been issued a sword (even as a Lancer)?

It does look like it was designed for fighting though, not just ceremonial.
