This Sword is a high quality and very well priced replica of the ERII Infantry Sword. The etching is perfect.
The sword is well weighted and perfect for ceremonial use.
The Knight Shop had it delivered to Australia in a little over a week and well in time for ANZAC Day.
I compared the sword to the more expensive options and you can't tell the difference. I use shaver oil spray to polish the blade and it looks perfect.
I will be recommending this to all Officers looking to buy their own.
Thank you Knight Shop for supplying such a good product at such a reasonable price. (Posted on 22/04/2023)
