Very nice an complete sword Stephen !

The ER or EB is very roughly done. looks like owner did it.

I was suprised to see this type in commbination with RHA.
I always think of the 1908 and 1912 Cavalry swords as soon as horses appear

But this battery was serving under the Royal Field Artillery, thus the artillery pattern sword.

Can you share a close up of the field sharpening ?

Best regards,
