Original era manufacture.

No maker or retailer name, only a six-pointed star with a brass "proved" disc. Plated steel basket guard with George V cypher. Fish skin wrapped grip bound with triple strand wire. Wrapped around the guard is a complete leather knot. Leather covered wooden bodied scabbard with it's original leather belt hanger in place.
