I didn?t send them mail but I saw one sale at christies in May 2003. There was a British Pattern 1900 Naval Cutlass sold for ?353. I?m not sure how it is today.. but I guess it?s higher than 350 pounds.
About the Icelandic horse, yes they eat well. They taste good, but we don?t eat them as much today as we did back in the days.

It's a one-man air raid shelter.
I agree on that one.
The Germans even made one-man shelter out of steel inside war factorys which was no way enough good if the factorys where bombed.

EDIT: It?s KUBAN I?m talking about here not Krim, my mistake
I think this shield is a good one, but I'd love to hear other opinions please.

Thank you Mervyn for very good answers.
No we don?t have polar bears here in Iceland (In 2008 two of them came with Iceberg from Greenland for first time in many years).
I guess some british soldier took it to Iceland in WW2. Because someone had no clue what was waiting for him here. Maybe was it?s role for defence on polar bears
"Boer War" hmm.. intresting. Was it then used in Boer war? Does it means that sword was made at the same time as it was issued or is this ?/00 mark just for issue year?
You say this scabbard is not the right one, I guess you are correct on that because the sword does not fit all the way in. I guess someone who had bought the sword have found some scabbard to use with. (Like the first picture shows)
I might sell it if I get right offer ;)

Hello friends.
I got this Wilkinson Sword few days ago as a gift. It was found in garage here in Iceland.
The story I got when I asked where it comes from, I was told that when the British army occupied Iceland 10th of May 1940. Some British soldier just left it behind when he got home.
I have no idea by who, but I know the British troops left Iceland summer 1945.
I don?t know much about this sword, what kind of a soldier rank had it, what time and division this kind of sword belong to.
The blade itself is 71 cm long and I notice the ?/00 mark on the blade. I guess it?s made in 1900.
All info is welcomed and possible value, thanks. (I?m not going to sell it btw)
