Hi 'Nando
,yes a serial number 39,000 + , I have another Wilkinson Cavalry sword....I am seriously thinking of contacting the archive (around £17 per sword) to see if they have any further details. Has anyone used this service before ? Kind Regards David Last edited by katana; 25th May 2011 at 02:51 AM. |

I have used the service several times. Richard Milner will only charge you if he can find the original purchaser details. Recommended. Ian |

Nice work.
I have contacted the archive also once. For a sword that in the end went to another buyer.  Fortunately that buyer was also willing to buy from me the archive print at costsprice I also came quite far with finding personal details on the owner. So give it a try, and let us know. Best regards, Willem |
