Black Watch sgian from Ebay

[OC Richard]

I picked up this sgian on Ebay last week.

The condition of the brass and wood is excellent. Nearly all the leather is gone from the sheath, leaving the bare pale wood showing. The blade has some discolouration but little or no pitting.

Most interesting are the inscriptions.

On the sgian itself are the initials M.G.

On the back of the sheath is engraved
with all my love darling from Daphne June 27 1940
Here it is!

I polished up the brass; it was very tarnished.





(Note: I discovered that this is a Cameron Highlanders sgian, not Black Watch.)
