33rd Cavalry
Here are examples of the sword carried by the 33rd Cavalry.
The officers sword utilizes the 1821 "Honeysuckle" style guard, and the lower sword, for troopers, is based upon the 1908 cavalry sword. If memory serves, the troopers sword was produced by B. Boota Singh and Son, of Rawalpindi. They obviously held several Indian Government contracts, as they also produced high quality kukri during WW1.

Another shot, alongside a standard British 1908.

Sorry to keep clogging this thread with more waffle, if I wasn't still in modded status I'd have tried to edit it all into one post.
Just discovered that Riyasata means something like Principality. So the last two characters are the key. If you can get a clearer pic it might be possible to establish which Principality it came from. |

Silver John that is brilliant work, many thanks indeed!
I will give the thing a good once over to clean the gunk out, and get back to you with better images. Kind regards, Chris |

Silver John,
No problem at all - I am glad you corrected me, that is what the forum is for - or am I mistaken :-). Jens |
