Dear colleagues. I have bought Royal Indian Marine sword. But I have some questions:
On an edge and a hilt there is no letter I (India) and it confuses me.
I know that Royal Indian Marine have been formed in 1892. But absence of a letter on drives me on thought that is any earlier Indian fleet (till 1892).
If someone has more exact information write.
The information on a brand on an edge at me is, it Edward Thurkle, 5 Denmark St., Soho (1876-1899).
I look forward to hearing. Respect, Alexander.
