WW1 ARGYLL & SUTHERLAND HIGHLANDERS EDINBURGH 1916 SILVER SGIAN DHU - KIRKWOODS / BROOKES

A beautiful piece dating to the 2nd year of the Great War.
Made by Kirkwoods , in my opinion the best of the Edinburgh silversmiths.
Retailed by military outfitters Brookes of Edinburgh and bearing their details.
As well as retailing Kirkwoods were one of the few who actually had their own silversmiths as opposed to having them made elsewhere and applying their details.
Bears Kirkwoods trademark thistle so made by them for Brookes.
Bog oak handle with silver studs.
Celtic serpent pattarn to the mounts.
Foiled citrine to top.
Clipped back blade in nice condition for it's age with no rot or pitting but does have some rust.
Leather covered wood scabbard.
Argylls Princess Louise cypher to handle.
Very difficult now to find any decent sgian dhus never mind top end examples like this.
RARE
