Here are pictures of one of my latest finds. Nothing too fancy, plain blade with some wear of years gone by. Opinions welcome.

Nice original piece, you don't often see them with a plain blade and they are great when they are as untouched as this one is. Whilst it is obvious that the scabbard is original to this piece because of the matching patina this scabbard is classic WK&c, the shape and design of the scabbard fittings is unique to WK&c, if you can remember this design then you can pick out a WK&c from miles away. The frog is a great example to.

nice addition to your growing collection.
