I purchased a few swords at a garage sale a couple years ago, and put them up and never bothered looking into any of them ( a couple are just really cheap replicas, so I wont waste your time with them) but one in particular has me wondering if it is just a cheap piece of wall art, or an actual officers sword. It has no serial numbers on it (that I can see) fully blunt edges, and no manufacturer label. The only markings it has is "EIIR" on the both sides of the blade and once more on the hand guard. It's extremely light but very sturdy. The grip on the hilt feels like a sturdy, new leather, with no heavy wear to speak of. I've tried looking for info online for it, and it very closely resembles a Wilkinson 1897p infantry officers sword, but bears no Wilkinson logo, or serial number. Any info on the possible origin of the blade, or any leads as to who may have manufactured it would be greatly appreciated.
