EL6662 - A good (probably Volunteer) Rifles officer's sword, retailed by Wood of Manchester, dating to c.1860-1880. Bright blade with good etching and lots of original polish, firm in the hilt. Guard with some kind of paint or varnish to be removed, and some light pitting. Scabbard has been painted (needs removing). Grip very good, everything tight. A good sword, in need of some minor work.
