Dear frends.
1. FREDERICK BARNES has stopped the work in 1904. But on a handle a monogram of GeograV. Somebody can explain it?
2. To me words SWORD CUTLERS TO THE WAR OFFICE aren't clear? Usually the officer bought a sword only from the private companies?
3. Somebody knows a brand on a hilt?
I will be grateful for the answer. Respect, Alexander.

Dear sisi_d. I have mixed instead of John Frederick Fenton and Frank Fenton, I have sent Frederick Barnes. It is my error. I am sorry. On a hilt I have read a brand. Remains not clear as the military brand is combined with firm Fenton? Respect, Alexander.
