A rare African Malawi 1897 Pattern Army Officer’s Wilkinson Sword

This sword is quite rare and would have been carried by an officer in the Malawi Army.  The country gained independence in 1964 and it is believed that the government placed an order with Wilkinson Sword t supply the officers in their armed forces with ceremonial swords.  This sword probably dates from the 1960’s/’70’s.  It follows exactly the form of the British Infantry Officer’s 1897 Pattern sword except that the state coat of arms of Malawi have been etched onto the sword hilt.  The blade is extensively decorated with Malawian state motifs.  The sword comes complete with its original field service scabbard.

Condition of the Sword

In exceptional condition – virtually unusued – blade is absolutely mint.

Specifications of the Sword

Blade length is 32.5 inches (38 inches overall).

A good example of a German C.WW2 Army Officer’s Sword

This sword would have been carried by an officer in the German Army from the 1930’s through to the end of WW2.  It is of good quality so I would guess that it is either early or pre-War.  It has an elaborately decorated hilt and a celluloid grip bound with silver twistwire.  The blade is plain and nickel plated with an impressed maker’s mark of the Eickhorn sword making company of Solingen, Germany.  It is interesting to note that this sword does not have an inset eagle and swastika to the hilt langet as is quite common with these swords.  Not sure why this is so although it might have been a personal decision of the owner.  Comes complete with its original black painted scabbard.

Condition of the Sword

In good overall condition with a little wear to the hilt and some loss of paint to the black scabbard.

Specifications of the Sword

Blade length is 34.5 inches (39 inches overall).
