ETHIOPIAN WILKINSON SWORD

In addition Wilkinson Swords produced Gurade swords for Ethiopia ...as did other European factories; example also shown...I attach a Wilkinson advertisement for the Ethiopian Market. The Gurade on a blue backdrop is inscribed by Wilkinson in Amharic all down the blade...and the Hilt is Rhino.

This looks like a 1897 pattern British infantry sword but with a grip and pommel resembling the 1912 cavalry pattern.
