Title Indian Police officer's sword
Nationality British
Period c 1914
Sold

Nice example, with a slightly scruffy pigskin scabbard, 95% original factory finish to blade, marked 'IP' to guard and blade for Indian Police. This sword was carried by the paramilitary frontier battalions, who operated both in Burma and on the North West Frontier, as well as by regular civilian police in India at the time of the Raj.

Just to let you know that the bayonets arrived safely this morning and I am extremely happy! They are everything that I had hoped they would be, but better! I am extremely pleased that i purchased them from you. The 1867 Albini ... is an absolute beauty, the blade is immaculate. The other is in fact in far better condition that I had imagined as well. So all in all, I couldn't be happier! Many thanks Chris.

I very much look forward to doing business with you again in the near future.

Thank you, Chris. All arrived safely. Very quickly too, much quicker than from the US! Very satisfied. It is a nice sword.

Anyway, thanks again and I have marked your site for future interest.
