11 inches overall with a 6 1/4 inch blade. Blade is bright and I believe hand ground (because of flat triangle area) with the distinctive Wilkinson Sword Logo and F-S Knife Logo on the ricasso. Hilt is a dark coppery brass. Rings are showing copper finish. Bottom of hilt shows "2" for the foundry cast mold. The scabbard (not pictured) is typical brown leather with dark colored brass drag and really weak elastic band.
I work for an antique militaria shop and just wanted to learn a little more about this alteration. I've read this combination of the 2nd pattern style hand ground blade with the logos and the 3rd pattern hilt is rare and desirable. I was wondering if anyone had an opinion and perhaps a value.
This is my first post, Thanks!
