Some info from my 'sword guy' :
The sword incorporates superb decorative styling to the bowl guard and an etched blade. The bowl guard has a “honeysuckle” design based on the open pierced hilt of the 1896 pattern cavalry officers flowing style, heavily influenced by the art nouveau movement. The rapier type blade has heavily etched decoration.
All Wilkinson swords of this period normally have a number on the back of the blade dating them to a particular year. The only reason I can think of no number is that these were made specifically for the South African Defence Force. The South African Coat of arms (below) however is one used from 1910 to 1930, so the sword is most likely 1^st world war, The sword was primarily a dress sword and cavalry often covered tank brigades.

These swords in good condition in the UK should reach at least R8000.

I have made the price R 5500 as I would have to pay the fees to get it to the UK. The sword is in great condition and is an excellent fit into the leather scabbard.

I have put a lot of pictures on this auction as it encompasses all the markings and details of the sword - please ask if you need any more....

....a few small rust spots on the hilt....

The scabbard also has markings....

A truly good buy for the collector!
