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.

**NAPOLEONIC WARS ERA**QUALITY MAKERS**British 1796 Pattern Officer’s Quality Light Cavalry Sword By JJ Runkel Solingen Germany & London With Blued & Gilt Etched Blade & Scabbard By Knubley & Brunn London. Sn 22155 -. Johann Justus Runkel was born in Germany in 1751. Between 1751 and 1779, he lived in the parish of Renysdorff, Neuwid, Prussia. He emigrated to Britain, either in 1779 or in 1780, where he practised his profession as an importer of swords and sword blades from Solingen. He had a shop in London at 8 Tookes Court, Castle Street, Holborn, sometimes also listed as Chancery Lane as which ran adjacent to Tookes Court, where he sold swords both to military officers and to other sword retailers. In the late 18th century, Charing Cross in London was a hub of gunsmithing activity. This included John Prosser, Thomas Gill, and John Knubley. In 1790 Knubley was awarded the title of Gunmaker to the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Clarence and Prince Edward. Knubley moved his business to 7 Charing Cross in 1792. Knubley passed away in February 1795, but his wife continued the business along with Samuel Brunn until 1779 who operated as Knubley, Brunn & Co, Charing Cross, London. Brunn passed the business along to John Mallet who continued to operate at Charing Cross until 1803. This is an excellent British 1796 Pattern Officer’s Quality Light Cavalry Sabre By JJ Runkel With Etched Blade & Scabbard By Knubley & Brunn. These Sabres were primarily used by British Light Dragoons and Hussars during the Napoleonic Wars. The blade is remembered today as one of the best of its time and has been described as the finest cutting sword ever manufactured in quantity. Officers of the famous 95th Rifles, Light Infantry Regiments and the "flank" Companies of Line Regiments adopted these Swords. Pattern 1796 Sabres were used at The Battle of Waterloo 1815. Our example has a single edged, fullered 34 ½” Sabre blade (39 ¾” overall). The blade has original leather hilt washer & some light staining consistent with age but no rust. Both sides of the blade are blued for approx. half the length & have gilt etched panels, foliate decoration & King’s Crowns with Royal Cyphers ‘GR’ (George Rex). The spine of the blade has crisp gilt maker’s signature ‘J.J. Runkel Solingen’. Its cross guard with rounded langets, knuckle guard, pommel and leather covered ribbed grip with wire binding are in nice condition. The wire binding is tight and intact. The grip strap has line engraved decoration. The Sabre is complete with its original steel scabbard with original hanging rings. The scabbard has several dents consistent with age and service use. Near to the throat, one side of the scabbard has a roundel engraved ‘Knubley & Brunn Charing Cross London’. The price for this Napoleonic Wars Era Sword & Scabbard by quality makers includes UK delivery. Sn 22155
