Scots Guards Sword by Wilkinson Proved 10th May 1915
This splendid sword proved by Wilkinsons on May 1915 and the ledger shows that this was ordered by Victor Cochrane-Baillie after receiving his commission in the Scots Guards. The sword comes with its original metal scabbard and has been apparently well taken care of. Sometime in the last twenty years someone went through the expense of having it professionally refubished.
The battle honours are until South Africa 1902.
