This is the first truly European sword for the Ethiopian Cavalry that I have found for sale. Of course, I could not miss out on it.... I have seen several (in Museums) Imperial Cavalry swords, but they were all German made in the pattern we see in the few pictures of the Selassie's Imperial Body Guards, like the one I am posting. This one is different. Made by Wilkinson with the usual writing in Amharic: HENRY WILKINSON SWORD MAKER OF KING GEORGE V PALL MALL LONDON. I am still trying to find out the pattern of this sword. Any ideas?? Does any of you have the German pattern or knows where I can find one......
