Special Order Wilkinson, 1910 with Toledo blade

The hilt furniture for Engineer's swords was typically brass, though I seem to recall once seeing a steel version mated with a blade that was etched to the REs.

This guard in steel was also used by some Scottish regiments (Black Watch, HLI, Seaforths, A&SH) on their Field Officer's swords. Were I a betting man, I'd guess Will's sword was owned by one of these.
