Patterned after the 1908 Cavalry Trooper sword, the 1912 was considered to be the pinnacle of thrusting sword design, and along with the American 1913 Pattern, one of the final combat swords issued by a Western army. 34 3/4 inch straight single fuller blade, with an overall length of 42 inches. The flat spine is numbered "7607" with the inset "PROVED" medallion on the left ricasso and etched scroll panels on each side, featuring the cipher of King George V and the Coat of Arms of Great Britain. The guard is engraved with scroll designs with textured backgrounds, with a leather sword knot running through a cut in the base. The wire wrapped rayskin grip demonstrates the signature 1908/1912 semi-pistol grip design, with raised laurel vine designs around the pommel, which is deeply checkered. With a nickel steel throated brown leather sheath.

Very fine. Some minor spotting and handling marks on the metal, with the sword knot showing mild cracking and scuffs, and a minor separation in the seam of the rayskin. The sheath is fine, with some mild scuffing, scratches and cuts.
