His sword slings are quite long, so that his sword seems to drag on the ground.
Hi ,My husband and I have been looking for info on picture of Return of the sword, we was playing our pipes for the new year approx 15 yrs ago and we was given the print (believed to be a print) by a man in Suffolk England, also a framed certificate aswell.
He aquired them he told us from an elderly gentleman and the certificate had a connection he believed with the print.
The certificate is of Royal ancediluvian order of Buffaoes,Grand lodge of England. Le Bonheur Lodge No.6591
and stating This is to certify that brother George A Horsley has been initiated into the buffaloism, on 16th Oct 1928 ,I will take a picture of both.
These pictures both hung in the house of George A Horsley and the man who gave us them said G A Horsley was in The Gordon Highlanders (he believed)
We will try and find out more info,It is good that we know someone else has seen the picture, return of the sword
I will post any info I find on this,Best wishes Sylvia and Martin McBeal
