I received this email from Thomas Llewellyn-Scott;
Hello, i was recently reading your interesting blog so i thought i would share a few points on it.
First like you, when i first began collecting British swords i bought a few from Harvey Withers (one i am vaguely happy with), one thing he does is give very poor (possibly inaccurate) descriptions of the items, i once bought a 1827 Gothic Hilted Rifle Brigade Pattern sword, which he described as victorian and which i very much think is a modern version of the same pattern. It was at this point i stopped dealing with Mr Withers as the sword i had bought prior to that was also more damaged than the photographs had made out (Photographs which are very small i might add).
Once again, when i was new to collecting i mistakenly bought a Lifeguards 2 Battalion, 1892 Pattern Sword, from "UK Militaria", this sword i later found out to be a fake, as i couldn't find the relevant documents of purchase i have been unable to pursue the matter.
I was wondering where you suggest buying from? From your blog do i take it you run Swordsales.EU?
