Dates
editI've used the dates for the pattern introductions described by both Robson and Withers. They differ from those described by Wilkinson Latham but the ones I've used seem to be the generally accepted ones now. Epeeist smudge 17:27, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
References
editFor now I've been lazy and added the references at the end. At a later date I will replace these with in-line references. Epeeist smudge 17:27, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
- If these in-line citations can be added, the article can probably be promoted to a B class.AustralianRupert (talk) 00:45, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Weapon vs Equipment
editSimilarly to the gothic hilted sword article, I've reverted the change from victorian equipment category back to weapon. They were issued and used as weapons up to WW1, regardless of their actual utility. Epeeist smudge (talk) 13:20, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
Variants
editI've placed a small addition to the variants sections as WKC make an unetched version for Warrant Officers which never drawn. The only Warrant Officer that draws his sword is the London GSM at Trooping The Colour [[1]]. --Panzer71 (talk) 13:17, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
