Exceptional English Silver Hilted Mid 18th Century Small Sword with a Dish Shell Guard. originality and homogeneity of the parts of the sword. The style indicates that the sword was made in England in the middle of the 18th century. The hilt does not carry any date, maker’s marks, or hallmarks, which means that the silver content of the hilt and the precise place of manufacture are unknown. The strength and substance of the sword indicates that it was made to withstand more than normal civilian wear and use and probably belonged to a military officer. The sword is of imposing substance and well balanced in hand. The hilt is an example of the high standards of design and execution required of 18th century silversmiths as well as an example of one of the most effective weapons of the 17th and 18th centuries. Silver hilted small swords were fashionable attire for 18th century gentlemen. Mostly worn for effect, someone wearing such a sword was also announcing to the world that he was able to use it. Despite the stylish and often delicate appearance of these swords they were formidable dueling weapons. This example was most certainly so. The triangular section, stiff, hollow ground, colichemarde blade is a strong example of its type and of exceptional quality. The blade is crisply engraved at the forte on each side with panels containing stands of arms in the centre and foliate designs above and below with a further scrolled design further along the blade. The engraved parts are of confident, deep execution and retain some original gilt finish. Overall the blade retains much of its original polished surface. The attractive baluster shaped wooden grip is spirally bound with twisted brass wire, overlain with pairs of contra-twisted silver ropes, in the manner adopted by both English and French cutlers. Brass Turks Heads are mounted top and bottom. The sword is in fine condition overall with some light age staining to the blade which is smoothly and lightly patinated. There are no losses or repairs to the hilt which has maintained its original pleasing outline. The overall length of the sword is 41.75 inches (105.75 cm) and the blade 35.25 inches (89.25 cm) long.

English Civil War Period Rapier circa 1625 to 1650. An English Civil War Period Rapier dating to circa 1625 to 1650. The length, sturdy construction and deeply incised decoration to the hilt mark it out as a military style rapier. The notable aspect about this weapon is its rarely encountered original condition. The rapier retains an even blackened dense patination all over and its original grip. The hilt is without repairs or damage and retains its pleasing original profile. The iron dish guard is robustly forged and decorously divided into quarters on the inside and outside, each quarter decorated with deeply chiselled scroll work designs. The hem of the dish has been finished with crescents and cusps which accentuate the chiselled scrolls inside. The outer side of the tang aperture has been strengthened with a square shaped panel cut from the dish in raised relief with curled borders. Front and back quillons emanate from a vertically rectangular solid block which is chiselled in the same manner as the dish. The quillons are of square section and bifurcate upon leaving the block, each branch turning at right angles and terminating in knops. This the quillon assembly forms a cradle which supports and strengthens the dish guard from the inside. To the front a slender square section knuckle bow extends from between the bifurcated quillon arms in a “D” shape upwards to be secured to the pommel by a screw. Halfway along the knuckle bow a swollen knop is present reminiscent of the quillon terminals. The pommel is of slightly compressed globular shape with an integral neck beneath and button on top. The pommel is chiselled with scroll designs similar to those of the the ricasso and dish guard. The original hardwood grip is of oval cross section. It is spirally bound with two thick pieces of contra twisted silver / white metal roped wire with silver / white metal strip between. The grip was probably originally mounted with silver / white metal “Turks’ Heads”, or washers, at the top and bottom which are now absent. The plain, stiff, blade is of tapering flattened diamond section and just over 32 inches (81.5 cm) long. It a short ricasso. The overall length of the rapier is just over 38.5 inches. English rapiers of this date exhibit a common form and style, however, there are many variations under this umbrella. For variant English rapiers see Stuart C Mowbray, “British Military Swords”, 2013, Andrew Mowbray Publishers, Volume One, 1600 to 1660, pages 254 to 281.

French M1777 Flintlock Cavalry Pistol. The French Model 1777 pistol was introduced to replace the earlier Model 1763/1766 and was manufactured between 1779-1792. During the American Revolution, thousands of French M1777 flintlock cavalry pistols were supplied to the American military by the French. The M1777 proved so popular in America that it was copied in 1799 by North & Cheney, becoming the very first official US military pistol. This example features .69 cal tapering 7 ½” round smoothbore barrel; the breech with stamped inspection markings and “80″ for manufacture date of 1780. Brass frame with integral pan, marked with “St. Etienne” in script and stamped with crowned “L” for Lambert, controller at St. Etienne from 1777-84. Brass trigger guard and butt plate with stamped inspector mark (worn). Walnut stock with no visible markings. Frame originally made to attach a steel belt hook, and there are signs that there once was one, however, later examples were made without the belt hook and existing examples usually had the hook removed. Overall length 13 1/8″. Very good original condition, showing considerable age and use; the brass with pleasing patina and dings from typical use; steel parts with scattered pitting; wood smooth, with dark patina and a small section worn away behind the pan from repeated firing. This historic pistol could very well have seen extensive action during the American Revolution.

Rare Confederate Froelich Artillery Short Sword. All Confederate-made swords are relatively rare, but perhaps one of the rarest is the foot artillery short sword made by Louis Froelich of Wilmington, NC and later Kenansville, NC. It would appear that the artillery sword was one of his earliest pieces, as the State of North Carolina contracted for 200 foot artillery swords in 1861 and it is known that the ordnance office in Raleigh paid $12 each for 151 of these between December 1861 and March, 1862. In Wilmington the company was known as the Wilmington Sword Factory or the Confederate Arms Factory, but in September, 1862 Froelich bought a 2.5 acre tract in Kenansville, NC and the new factory became known as the Confederate States Armory, where most of their wartime production occurred. They produced a wide array of products from buttons, knapsacks, and accouterments, to all types of edged weapons, including swords and surgical instruments. They are perhaps best known for their cavalry sabers, of which they provided over 11,000 to the Confederacy. The quality of their products was generally better than other Confederate-made items. The example offered here is of simple form with cast one-piece brass hilt comprising guard, scaled grip, and pommel. Double-edged 18 1/4″ blade of gladius form with unstopped fuller on each side. It is completely unmarked and identified mostly from its distinctive cross guard. Like almost all foot artillery short swords of the period it was fashioned after the French model which was a modern recreation of the ancient Roman gladius. When adopted by the French, these were originally intended to kill or maim charging cavalry horses, but such use during the Civil War was rarely practical so these stout weapons were largely used to clear brush and help with setting up the artillery batteries. As such, the blade of this example shows much use with numerous deep edge nicks and the tip is worn. The piece is uncleaned and the high copper content brass hilt show a dark patina with some lighter patches. Blade with dark rust patina. Most Confederate swords show considerable wear and use, as is the case with this very rare example. No scabbard. Overall length 23 1/2″.

English Silver Mounted Hanger circa 1695. A late 17th century English silver mounted Hunting Hanger made by the silver hilted sword maker and cutler Francis Springall of London. In the 17th and 18th centuries when swords were a popular weapon for gentlemen, hangers were a robust secondary side arm used for self-defence when hunting and travelling. They were also used in parts of the British Army and Navy. Hangers appear in some military portraits of the time. The fine quality hanger described here was a gentleman's weapon. The maker is almost certainly Francis Springall. The knuckle bow is stamped with his pre-Britannia Standard mark of “F S” in raised relief inside a lozenge. The mark is worn but discernible. His mark has been identified on another silver hilted hanger which is in the Royal Armouries collection (Ref: IX.1803) and dates to around the same time. Francis Springall was one of a number of London-based silver hilted sword and hanger makers that excelled in their craft in the late 17th century. He is recorded from 1686 to 1735. He started his apprenticeship in 1686 and was sworn free upon completion in 1694. As the Britannia Standard would require his name stamp to read “S P” from 1697, the hanger can be dated to the small window of three years between 1694 and 1697. Springall lived for most of his life at “Three Legg’d Alley”, New Street Precinct in the Parish of St Bride’s. He was buried at St Bride’s Church, Fleet Street, in 1735. Springall lived in exciting times as London was remodelled after the turbulence of the Civil War period, plague and the Great Fire of 1666. The city was more outward looking, international trade was growing through London port, military success was being achieved abroad and more interest and investment was being expressed in art and culture. The quality of Springall’s work, like that of his leading contemporaries, represents the evolving style and fashions of late 17th and early 18th century Baroque London. The hilt of this hanger is comprised of a bold faceted quillon block from which a downward facing rear quillon and a knuckle bow emerge. The pommel is formed as a cap on top of the natural stag horn grip. The top of the knuckle bow is fashioned as a hook which secures the bow into the pommel. The flattened quillon terminal features in bold relief a mounted caped horse rider on each side, possibly a representation of a huntsman. The feature is repeated in a diamond shaped panel in the middle of the knuckle bow on each side with floral sprays above and below. The maker’s stamp is struck just above one of these panels. The knuckle bow terminal is decorated with a floral design which is also applied to the quillon block. The shank of the pommel cap is decorated with a complex pattern of closely aligned crescents and arches between a rim above and below. The same pattern is present on the base ferrule of the grip. The pommel top has a pronounced ribbed button around which a circular panel has been formed containing in raised relief a crown above and below the button and the bust of a man on each side, the symbolism of which is unknown. The decoration in raised relief is highlighted by contrast with a stippled background. The curved single edged blade is 18.75 inches long (just under 48 cm). The worn remains of the blade maker’s mark is present on one side. The hanger retains its original wooden scabbard with its red leather covering. The mounts are replacements and not original to the scabbard. For further information on Francis Springall see Leslie Southwick, “London Silver-Hilted Swords, their makers, suppliers & allied traders, with directory”, 2001, Royal Armouries, page 228 for his biography.

SUPERB AND RARE GOTHIC SHORT SWORD HUASWEHR. German or Swiss, 15th-early 16th century. 18 ¾” overall length with thick wedge section blade tapered through its length. Integral grip with tubular scale fasteners and truncated heart shaped base mount. Fine line bordered pommel securing portions of the original stag antler grips. Weapons of this type were carried by peasants whose access to arms was limited. They always mount a base lug to the grip and never a cross guard, strongly suggesting that peasants were restricted from owning swords, and that these were allowed under the guise of being working knives. That as here, they are not encountered resharpened, attests to the fact that they were weapons. This outstanding example retains most of its original edge and much of its original surfaces. Additionally, it is of superior quality to nearly all of its contemporaries. See European Cut and Thrust Weapons, Muller, page 233 #186 which compares to this example and is illustrated in three other works on arms. Of the two, this example is superior for form and marginally better preserved. On the market, it is the best we have seen in over 50 years!

English Plug Bayonet by John Hathaway, ca. 1690. Featuring tapering 11 ½” single-edged wedge-section blade, double-edged for the last 5 1/4″. The forte is deeply stamped on one side with the Blazing Star mark assigned to John Hathaway by the Worshipful Company of Cutlers of London on September 26, 1689 and also an unidentified King's Head mark (KH18 in R.D.C. Evans' “The Plug Bayonet”). While the King's Head was a mark used by Solingen makers Weyersberg and Wundes, this mark is clearly different, as all the German Kings Head marks are left facing profiles, whereas this one is right facing. The brass hilt is of the type known as the Winged Figure Series in Evans' book and the slightly upturned quillons and pommel both feature this three-dimensional figure. The grip is of turned walnut with a brass ferrule at the base and tapering crimped pommel cap with integral winged figure finial. Overall length 17 5/8″. Blade with light pitting, hilt and grip near excellent. A very fine example of a classic English plug bayonet of the period of James II and the ascension of William of Orange. Another example by this maker, formerly in the 2003 catalog of Peter Finer, Ltd. is currently being offered by a UK dealer for 2825 British Pounds (nearly $4000 USD).

Presentation 1796 Light Cavalry Sword, very fine. SN 8892. A Very Fine Presentation 1796 Light Cavalry Sword. 37&157; overall, 31 1/2&157; curved undecorated blade with double edged pointed tip pointed and pronounced ’Yelman’, with pointed langlets, stirrup bow and wire bound ebony handle. In its Kilij type steel scabbard with twin ring suspension and engraved presentation inscription ’Presented to Sergt Major W.Breatt R.H.A. Rty by his Commanding Officer 1825’. Dated 1825 (W Breatt was promoted QSM in May 1825) Sword in good condition with a very good blade, engraving a little rubbed. William Breatt was born in Nuneaton in 1787 rising from Private to Sergeant Major in the Royal Horse Artillery, attesting for service in 1805 at the age of 18. He was discharged on the 31st May 1835 due to chronic rheumatism and deficiency of respiration. We think he served in Captain Bulls Troop RHA, but his name is not on the Waterloo roll and he did not claim his Army General Service Medal.
