General Officer's Sword

Hi Brian,
The slug is too badly damaged for me to I.D. the maker I'm afraid, maybe another member might have a better idea. This photo is of a Henry Wilkinson proof slug on an 1821 pattern Heavy Cavalry Officers sword from about 1870/80, as you can see it is quite easy to I.D. the maker from this slug. There is a list of others on oldswords.com but I believe there are still some that have not been matched to a maker. Sorry I could not be of more help.
My Regards,
Norman.
