The sword is a 7th Hussars officers pattern and can be seen worn on a statue of Sir Douglas Haig, he is mounted with sword attached to horseshoe pouch.
Now just have to find F.W. Bevile in relation to the 7th Hussars! |

Noted as scroll guard and 7th Hussars grip. It may have been made for another person possibly in the family with the "B"initial, I can't make out what the other initials are in the etching.
I think I'll have to remove known letter "B" and see what's left. Thanks to Gordon who pointed out the initials are F.W.B. Last edited by Will M; 12th June 2017 at 09:00 PM. |

No luck finding F.W. Bevile, remaining elusive.
