SCOTTISH MILITARY OFFICERS DIRK OF THE TRANSVALE SCOTTISH VOLUNTERS.

This Regiment was formed in1902 by the 7th Duke of Atholl from Scottish settlers living in South Africa. The unit took part in Suppressing local rebellions and then saw action in WW1 in German South West Africa and then Europe, in WW2 they served mainly in Egypt and the Middle East. All white metal mounts, the pommel of the dirk displays the military badge of the Transvaal Scottish Regiment. Black bogwood handle is complete with all silver metal decorative pins and it is in perfect condition. The blade is by Fraser Ross & Co Glasgow and shows some slight spotting but could be cleaned if required. Black leather scabbard with three metal mounts, the top two mounts display the Regimental badge but the decoration to the lower mount is now missing. The upper metal fitting is complete with its matching metal fork but the lower knife is now missing. Comes with some research concerning the Regiment. Bargain price, with a replacement small knife and lower badge decoration the asking price would be more than double. Exc+
