1907 Wilkinson

iy looks good what i see - we need tosee details to give much more but its not been sharpened - thats a big plus , looks like it was refurbed between wars to me , thats why its been blued , they were originally produced in the white , but that is no deterrent to it at all , the scales apear to be originals /not replacements 

Not that I know of or can tell. I just rubbed some light machine oil on it with my fingers.

yes - in 1907 it was made with a bright [white] finish , but it is in excellent condition , most were refinished between the wars , the fact that it was not sharpened preserved its value , i suspect it had a hooked quillon when made but thats been removed from what i see here , it also would have been made without the clearing hole in the pommel , that may have been added at refurb but not necessarily , would be interesting to see  

sprry , i missed that 18 date in original post , it would NOT have the quillon , might or might not have had the clearing hole but that might well have been added in 21 refurb , still a very desirable baronet to have and its in great condition , still would have been made in bright finish and was blued in refurb ,
