Wilkinson Sword that belonged to my grandfather. He was a Colonel in the South African Police. I inherited it from my father, and will pass it on to my son in due course. Being a ceremonial sword, the blade hasn't been sharpened, although it could be.
The etching includes the WS logo and the royal coat of arms, as well as the South African coat of arms and two interlocking triangles, originally a guild proof called the "Star of Damascus," originally an Eastern mark of distinction found on swords of high-quality workmanship.
