English Officer’s Silver Hilted Small Sword by John Carman of London dating to 1720 – 1730. An interesting English silver hilted officer’s small sword by John Carman of London. The plain stylish hilt is typical of English silver hilt design of the late 17th and early 18th centuries comprised of bold simple curves and solid workmanship. This is a nicely balanced example. The hilt consists of a guard formed from shallow dish-shaped plates with reinforced rims, pas d'ane rings, a knucklebow, rear quillon plus an ovoid pommel with integral ribbed button on top. The grip consists of a wooden baluster-shaped core covered with alternately twisted lengths of roped silver wire and with woven “Turks Heads” top and bottom. The maker’s mark is for the first John Carman and is stamped twice on the hilt, once on the rim of one of the shell guards and again on the knuckle bow near the pommel. This mark is the second recorded by John Carman and was formed as a four cusp depression with the letters “I C” in raised relief inside with a star above and a pellet beneath. See Arthur G Grimwade, “London Goldsmiths 1697 to 1837 Their Marks and Lives”, Faber and Faber, 1976, mark 1190, page 92. This mark was registered in the Smallworkers’ book at Goldsmiths Hall on 27th June 1720. See also Leslie Southwick, “London Silver-Hilted Swords”, their makers, suppliers and allied traders, with directory, 2001, Royal Armouries, for an account of John Carman’s life in pages 62 and 63. He was born in 1692/3 and died in 1741. From 1708 he was apprenticed to the accomplished London sword cutler Thomas Vicaridge, then George Atkins, to be sworn “free of the Cutlers’ Company by servitude” in 1716 when he registered his first mark, comprised of the first two letters of his surname “C A” inside a rectangle, in line with the Britannia Standard. The military type blade is single edged with a double fuller running underneath the spine and is unmarked.The blade is just under 30 inches long at 75.75 cm. The overall length of the sword is 36 inches (91.5 cm). The condition of the hilt is fine and in original form although there is a small dent to the pommel top. The blade has been cleaned and shows some wear with a patch of pitting on the cutting edge near the tip consistent with damp collecting under the scabbard chape and attacking the blade when the sword was sheathed and left aside for a period of time.

French Silver Hilted Small Sword date stamped for Paris 1771. A very nice aristocratic French silver hilted small sword dating to the years preceding the French Revolution. It is a nicely balanced example mounted with a double shell guard hilt and a hollow ground triangular section blade. The sword is an example of the high standards of design and execution required of the 18th century Parisian silversmith as well as an example of one of the most effective weapons of the late 17th and 18th centuries. The double shell guard is skillfully chiselled with flowing designs in raised relief comprised of foliage, tendrils, floral sprays and pierced panels of intricate latticework. Each of the shell guards both on the convex and concave sides is formed with a roped rim chiselled with a foliate border centred with a solid bold vase of flowers in raised relief in classical style with panels of latticework on each side. The ecusson, pas d'ane rings, knuckle bow, quillon and pommel are decorated in the same sumptuous manner. The silversmith’s marks are punched into one side of the pas d’ane ring nearest the rear quillon with the date represented by a letter “H” with an open crown above in raised relief inside a shield. The hilt retains elements of its original gilt cover in places. The grip consists of a wooden rectangular section baluster-shaped core spirally wrapped with bands of flat and crimped silver strip separated by contra twisted roped silver wire and mounted with silver woven “Turk's Heads” top and bottom. The stiff blade tapers acutely to its point and is engraved with panels of scrolls, some still highlighted with gilt, near the hilt. Condition: the sword is in good condition overall. The hilt and grip show little wear and no noticeable damage. The hilt retains its original pleasing shape, there are no repairs or damage and the engraving is generally crisp. There is slight age staining and minor old pitting to a few small parts of the blade which is straight and undamaged. The sword is well balanced in hand. The blade is just over 29 inches (74 cm) long and overall the sword is 35.5 inches (90 cm) long. For the date mark see the French publication Les Poincons Pour L Argent, 1957, page 115.

Georgian Officer’s Silver Hilted Hanger by Charles Freeth of Birmingham with hallmarks for 1801 / 1802. An interesting Officer’s Hanger by Charles Freeth of Birmingham dating to the period at the end of the French Revolutionary Wars and the beginning of the Napoleonic Wars. Freeth was an accomplished silversmith working from the end of the third quarter of the 18th century until the beginning of the 19th. He is best known for the exquisite silver mounts he produced for some of the most high profile English gunmakers in the early part of this period. Swords by Freeth are rare. The hanger has a plain hilt with a “D” shaped knuckle guard with a looped side guard inset with a hollow diamond. The square section cushion ribbed pommel sits on top of a vertically reeded ivory grip. The hilt is mounted with a curved blade decorated with scrolling foliage and a crowned “G R” cypher, highlighted in gilt, on a blued background. The hanger retains its scabbard. The silver hilt parts and the scabbard mounts are profusely marked with Charles Freeth's stamp of “C F” in raised relief inside a panel, plus the date and Birmingham hallmarks. The blade length is just over 27 inches (69 cm). Overall the hanger is in good condition although the blue and gilt application to the blade is somewhat faded. The scabbard has survived generally well but at some time during its working life it has snapped near the chape and been stitched together with a short leather sleeve. The ivory grip has some small areas of flaking.
