Thread: Royal Scots Sword

Hello,

I have been offered a sword by a friend but I know nothing about them,now if it had been a bayonet I would have been ok!

It has been described as a Royal Scots Highland Light Infantry cross hilt sword and that it dates back to the George 5th / WW1 era.

Please can someone identify it from the pics provided please,I can't see a maker mark which I find confusing!

Pic 3 could be a maker mark I suppose,this is a pic of the handle with the grip removed.

Regards,
Andy

A few more pics.IMG_4633.jpgIMG_4634.jpgIMG_4635.jpgIMG_4641.jpg

Seems about right. No idea on maker; no maker's name, no way of telling.

Many thanks for your reply,much appreciated!
Would you know the approximate value on this please,I'm considering buying it to add to my edged weapon collection,but don't have a clue what these are worth,also,I don't want to overpay!

Regards,
Andy

At UK auction it would probably fetch 250 to 350 GBP depending on the auction house and the day.
Retail is twice that value.
