attractive French Steel Hilted Small Sword of the mid 18th century. An attractively pierced and chased French steel hilted small sword dating to the years preceding the French Revolution. It is a nicely balanced example mounted with an oval convex shell guard hilt and a hollow ground triangular section blade engraved with foliate panels at the forte. The hilt retains elements of its original blued finish which contracts nicely with the silver wrapped grip. The sword is an example of the high standards of design and craftsmanship required of the 18th century French sword maker. The level of detail achieved in the hilt from such a hard material like steel is an impressive artistic accomplishment. The shell guard is skillfully chiselled and pierced with a complex lattice of florets in the French manner within a thickened rim of four crescents. The ricasso, pas d'ane rings, knuckle bow, quillon and pommel are decorated in the same sumptuous manner which attests to the homogeneity of the parts. The grip consists of a wooden rectangular section baluster-shaped core spirally wrapped with bands of flat silver strip separated by contra twisted thin ropes of silver wire and mounted with silver woven “Turk's Heads” top and bottom. The stiff blade tapers acutely to its point and is enhanced with engraved panels of foliate scrolls near the hilt on both sides. The sword is in good condition overall. The hilt retains its original pleasing shape, shows little wear and no noticeable damage or repairs. The engraving is crisp. There is some wear and blackened age staining to parts of the blade, which is straight and undamaged. The sword is well balanced in hand. The blade is 32.75 inches (83 cm) long and overall the sword is just under 39.5 inches (100 cm) long.

**NAPOLEONIC WARS ERA**British Woolley & Deakin’s (Birmingham) Improved Steel 1796 Pattern Cavalry Sabre & Scabbard. Sn 23484:41 -. Woolley & Deakin of Birmingham produced their 1796 pattern sabres especially for the looming 100 Days War in March and April 1815, after the Congress of Vienna declared Napoleon an outlaw after his escape from his first exile to the Elba, and the Allies mobilised their armies accordingly. The Pattern 1796 Light Cavalry Sabre was used primarily by British Light Dragoons and Hussars during the Napoleonic Wars (see page 77 of World Swords by Withers). 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 (The Hit Peninsular War, Book & TV series Sharpe’s Rifles featured this pattern of Sword). This original 1796 Sabre by Woolley & Deakin is in good condition for its age. It has a single edged, fullered 33” Sabre blade (37 ¾” overall). The blade is undamaged & has staining consistent with age. The back of the blade is signed by the manufacturer ‘Woolley & Deakin’s Improv’d Steel’. Its cross guard with rounded langets, knuckle guard, pommel and ribbed grip are good condition. The ribbed wood grip has traces of its original leather covering and some original wire binding is present. The Sabre is complete with its original steel scabbard with 1 hanging ring. The scabbard has even patina with no cracks or dents. The price for this Napoleonic Wars era Cavalry Sword by a quality maker with Scabbard includes UK delivery. Sn 23484:41

CONFEDERATE CUTLASS. Adapted from a captured Union 1860 pattern cavalry saber and patterned after the US model 1860 cutlass, probably by a ship's blacksmith. The blade with MANSFIELD AND LAMB maker's mark to the ricasso and US 1865 opposite. The blade shortened to 24 ¾” with the point reshaped and thinned appropriately. The hilt with the side bars removed and replaced with a brass semi bowl guard. Original wire wrapped leather covered grip, well worn. The hilt with dark patina. The blade with surface rusting which would clean easily, but should be left to preserve the character. The Confederate Navy protected Confederate harbors and engaged with the Union at blockaded ports to draw off gunships allowing blockade runner to dock. As well, the Confederate Navy sailed the globe disrupting supply ships headed to the north. To that end, Jefferson Davis in 1861 declared that the Confederate government would issue letters of marque, to any wishing to aid the South against US shipping, thus establishing privateers under the Confederate flag. The most illustrious of Confederate naval ships was the CSS Shenandoah which traveled as far as Australia and the Indian Ocean, capturing or sinking 38 vessels and remaining active until November of 1865. It was the Shenandoah which fired the last shot (across the bow of a whaler in the Aleutians) of the Civil War.

British WW1 1907 Pattern Bayonet with Early Hooked Quillon, 2nd Battalion Loyal Lancashire Regiment, East African Campaign. Description Straight single-fullered knife blade, steel hilt with muzzle ring and distinctive forward-curving lower quillon, wood slab grips secured by two screws, steel beaked pommel with locking button. Brown leather No. 1 Mk 2 scabbard with steel locket & teardrop frog stud and steel chape piece. Brown leather 1914 Pattern frog with buckled retaining strap and rear strap to attach a helve carrier. This bayonet is still in its original configuration with hooked lower quillon and no oil hole: the quillon was ordered to be removed from new production bayonets in October 1913 and existing examples were often removed by grinding during repair. The ricasso is stamped on one side with a crown over 1907 (the pattern), 11 &#acute;10, indicating the manufacture date to be November 1910 and the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;EFD&#acute; for the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield. It is stamped on the other side with a &#acute;broad arrow&#acute; War Department stores mark, two crown inspection marks with &#acute;E&#acute; for Enfield, a small stamp made up of another broad arrow over &#acute;EFD&#acute; over &#acute;51&#acute;, and an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating that the blade passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test “ this appears to have been double-stamped. The pommel is stamped with &#acute;2.N.L.&#acute;, indicating the 2nd Battalion, The Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, and the weapon number &#acute;479&#acute;. The scabbard is identically stamped at the throat with &#acute;479&#acute;, confirming that they are an original pair, and next to the staple on the throat and chape pieces with a faint mark that looks like &#acute;AM&#acute; over &#acute;OA.12&#acute; “ this probably refers to a manufacturer. The leather body of the scabbard is stamped next to the seam with the date &#acute;13&#acute; as well as &#acute;1113&#acute;, &#acute;I^M&#acute;, (where the ^ is a broad arrow), which I think is an Indian stores mark, and the letter &#acute;A&#acute;. The rear of the frog is faintly, informally marked by poking dots and scratching lines, with what looks like &#acute;18278&#acute; and &#acute;F.T.&#acute;, which might be a previous owner&#acute;s initials and soldier number. The frog is of the British 1914 Pattern (part of the Infantry Equipment, Pattern 1914 set of leather webbing). It retains the strap on its reverse side which could be used to attach the helve carrier for an entrenching tool. The 2nd Battalion of the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment was one of only two British battalions deployed to East Africa during the First World War, and the only battalion of British regulars (the other being the newly formed 25th Battalion, Royal Fusiliers). At the outbreak of the war it was deployed to Bangalore, India, joining the 27th (Bangalore) Brigade of the British Indian Army. The Bangalore Brigade was tasked with invading German East Africa via the port of Tanga (in modern-day Tanzania), arriving in November 1914. Despite a substantial numerical advantage this attack, now known as the Battle of Tanga, failed with disproportionate casualties for the invasion force and substantial losses of equipment. The 2nd Battalion had made better progress than most of the British-Indian force but had to withdraw back to their transport ships, which took them to Mombasa. The German East African forces fought a highly mobile guerilla campaign ranging across what is now Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi and Mozambique, under the capable command of Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck. While their strength rose to a peak of 11,000 men at the end of 1915 they remained far outnumbered by British Empire forces, who also had support from Belgian and Portuguese allies. Both sides suffered greatly from supply shortages and disease, and the 2nd Battalion was no exception “ it had to be withdrawn from the fight in May 1916 due to ill health among its troops. Early German successes such as Tanga did not translate to long-term advantage, and from 1916 on they were forced out of German East Africa and ground down by the diverse British Empire force, by then under the command of equally capable guerilla fighter Jan Smuts. Their last 1,500 men surrendered in accordance with the Armistice in November 1918. After recuperating in South Africa the 2nd Battalion was transferred to Egypt in January 1917. It seems to have remained in poor condition and was posted to guard lines of communication. In May 1918 it arrived in France and was attached to the 34th Division, with which it took part in various battles of the Hundred Days Offensive in the closing stages of the war. The Loyal North Lancashire Regiment became the Loyal Regiment (North Lancashire) from 1921. It was amalgamated with the Lancashire Regiment in 1970 to form the Queen’s Lancashire Regiment, which merged with two others in 2006 to form the present-day Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment. There is good reason to think that this bayonet was carried by the 2nd Battalion during their time campaigning in East Africa. We know that before the war the 2nd Battalion was posted to India and had been there since 1910, the year of this bayonet&#acute;s manufacture “ before that date it had been in Mauritius so it was certainly away from home when the new bayonet was delivered to them. The scabbard is dated 1913, is probably of Indian manufacture but is identically numbered to the bayonet, suggesting they were brought together in the regimental armoury in 1913 while it was stationed there. This gives the overall picture of pre-war equipment that would have been part of the 2nd Battalion&#acute;s stores in India as of 1914, meaning it is very likely to have been taken with them and carried into the Battle of Tanga and subsequent engagements. The blade is mostly bright, one area of spotted pitting and patination to the spine. The blade retains its blued area at the ricasso. The hilt, exposed tang and pommel have a blued finish. The wood grips have only a couple of dents and some patches of oil staining. The leather scabbard body has light rubbing and surface-level cracking. It is quite flexible, and one should take care to support it once the blade is withdrawn from it. The scabbard fittings are blued, one dent to the chape piece which does not interfere with sheathing and drawing. The frog is in good condition, its leather flexible, some rubbing to the edges on the front side and the retaining strap. One small keyhole-shaped hole to the rear side of the belt loop, just under 1cm long.

Rare Russian M1843 Luttich Carbine Bayonet by P J Malherbe. Description Leaf-shaped, double-edged blade with short, narrow central fuller. Brass cross hilt with twin forward-curving quillons, ribbed solid brass grip. External leaf spring secured with a single screw, its fixed button protruding from the opposite side of the grip. Black leather washer. No scabbard. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;P J MALHERBE A LIÈGE&#acute; above an inspection stamp and the number &#acute;2&#acute;. The hilt is stamped next to the leaf spring near the pommel with a crown over &#acute;B&#acute;. The .704 calibre Brunswick rifle was designed by Captain Berners, a Jaeger officer of the Brunswick Army, and adopted with some modifications by the British Army in 1836. The Russian Imperial Army essentially copied the British Brunswick as their M1843 Luttich Carbine. The carbines and associated bayonets were manufactured on their behalf in Liège, Belgium by the gunmaker Pierre Joseph Malherbe “ &156;Lüttich&157; is the German name for Liège. Numbers produced are uncertain but low “ anecdotally I read that the observed serial numbers on the carbines have been below 1000, and production of the bayonets was probably equal. The Luttich carbines were used in the Crimean War, issued to specialist Russian sharpshooters as it was the only rifled long arm in their arsenal. The British had already replaced the Brunswick with the improved Minie rifle issued to all their infantry, and introduced the new Enfield rifle over the course of the conflict. Examples of the Luttich found outside Russia may well have been originally taken as trophies in that conflict. The blade&#acute;s lower section has some light patination and spots of pitting, a larger patch of pitting around the tip section on one side. The tip of the blade is slightly chipped. The hilt is in good condition with an even patina. The locking mechanism moves freely.

British Warwickshire Yeomanry Cavalry Officer&#acute;s Full Dress Mameluke Sword by Hamburger Rogers & Co.. Description Curved, unfullered, hatchet-pointed blade with false edge. Mameluke hilt cast with foliate motifs, with langets and leaf rosette finials. Ivory scale grips secured with decorative rivets, sword knot hole with brass rim. No washer. Scabbard with steel body, steel throat piece, ornate cross-shaped brass band fittings for the hanging rings and ornate brass fitting at the chape. Blade 27 7/8 inches in length, the sword 33Â¼ inches overall. The blade is etched on one side with the retailer &#acute;HAMBURGER ROGERS & Co 30 King St Covent Garden London&#acute;, as well as crossed lances with banners and foliate motifs including oak leaves with acorns. It is etched on the other side with further foliage and acorns. Hamburger & Co. was a firm of gold & silver lacemen established in 1812. As lacemen they produced uniforms for court and cavalry officers, and like many military outfitters also retailed swords. The brothers William and John Rogers joined the partnership in 1840 and it became Hamburger, Rogers & Co. until 1918, so this sword must postdate 1840. Their swords were made by others “ the firms Mole, Wilkinson and Reeves all supplied them at various times “ but Hamburger was nonetheless notable for supplying unusual regimental swords, having extensive trade with the regiments of the Household Cavalry (which used their own patterns of sword and procured them outside the usual channels) and later procuring custom trooper&#acute;s swords for the Westminster Dragoons. The &#acute;mameluke&#acute; sword was initially introduced to Europeans during Napoleon&#acute;s Egyptian campaigns of 1798-1801, where he fought against and was impressed by the local Mamluk cavalry. The Duke of Wellington owned and carried a mameluke sword from his service in India, and it became an outright craze among British officers to have one as a dress sword. This unofficial trend became officially acknowledged in the 1822 cavalry dress regulations as well as in the 1831 Pattern staff officer&#acute;s mameluke sword, which is still carried by General Officers to this day. Among the light cavalry the mameluke sword was of iconic status: even after Dress Regulations were brought in every Lancer and Hussar regiment retained its own unique variation on the type: always richly decorated and often incorporating regimental motifs in their design. See Chapter 12 of the British Cavalry Sword 1788-1912 by Richard Dellar for extensive discussion of these variations. Plate 12.16 of the same volume (page 115) depicts an identical mameluke to this one, marked to the Warwickshire Yeomanry and dated c1860-70, which enables identification of this unmarked version. Not every mameluke of a given unit bears regimental etching to prove it: being officer&#acute;s swords they would have been privately purchased and such etching would have been an optional extra “ this example is well etched but with a more generic pattern. Four independent troops of yeomanry were raised in the county of Warwickshire in 1794, in Packington, Birmingham, Rugby and Kineton, each of 54 men. These were combined in 1796 to form the Warwickshire Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, headquartered at Warwick, which grew to eight troops by 1854. County yeomanry regiments were composed of (or sponsored by) wealthy gentlemen and their fine uniforms and horses made them great local spectacles and sources of pride for their communities. They also had a law enforcement role: the regiment was first called out in 1795 to aid the civil power in suppressing a riot in Birmingham. This was repeated for the waves of Chartist riots in Birmingham in 1839, 1842 and 1848. The regiment saw no action overseas until the Boer War, in which it contributed volunteers to the Imperial Yeomanry “ in 1900, 5 officers and 116 men formed the 5th (Warwickshire) Company of the 2nd Battalion, then a second contingent of 146 men followed in 1901 which became the 103rd Company. The 5th Company saw combat as mounted infantry, most notably in May 1900, when they were ordered to hold a drift (ford) on the Orange River known as Kheis Drift. The drift led to a wooded river island held by a sizeable party of Boers, which fired on them when they approached. British artillery bombarded the island, then the Warwickshire Company were ordered to cross the river and attack. The artillery had not deterred the Boers, who laid in wait then opened fire as the British crossed on horseback. Corporal Baxter, one of the lead men, was left wounded in the water, his horse killed under him. Rather than retreating his comrades rushed to his aid despite heavy enemy fire: Trooper Lane and the company commander Major Orr-Ewing were killed recovering Baxter and six others wounded before the withdrawal was complete. Baxter died of his wounds the following night, the incident marking the first casualties in the regiment&#acute;s 106 years of history. In the First World War volunteers from the regiment served with the 2nd Mounted Division, fighting as infantry at Gallipoli in 1915. It was transferred to the Australian Mounted Division in 1917, fighting as cavalry in numerous battles in Palestine including the charge at Huj in 1917, one of the last great charges of the British cavalry. It was then amalgamated into the 100th (Warwickshire and South Nottinghamshire Yeomanry) Battalion, Machine Gun Corps, serving on the Western Front in 1918. After WW1 the Warwickshire Yeomanry was one of the few regiments which remained as true cavalry “ it entered WW2 as part of the 1st Cavalry Division, Britain&#acute;s last horseback division, garrisoning Palestine in 1940 and fighting in Iraq and Syria in early 1941. In August 1941 its division was finally mechanized as the 10th Armoured Division, which fought in North Africa and Italy. It was amalgamated with the Worcestershire Yeomanry in 1957 to form the Queen’s Own Warwickshire and Worcestershire Yeomanry. There are two present-day descendant units: B (Warwickshire and Worcestershire Yeomanry) Squadron of The Royal Yeomanry and 54 (Queen’s Own Warwickshire and Worcestershire Yeomanry) Support Squadron of the Royal Corps of Signals. Some small spots of patination and cleaned pitting to the blade, some on the etching. The grips are solidly attached with no cracking. The brass components have a moderate patina. The scabbard has a dent on one side, some dark patination and some pitting to the steel, both heavier towards the chape end. One of the hilt finials is very slightly bent forwards. Due to the ivory used in the grip, this sword cannot be exported from the UK. It has been declared and registered as antique ivory under the provisions of the UK Ivory Act and therefore can be sold within the UK. Please note that this is a one-time registration: if you purchase this sword and wish to resell it you must register it again.

The Pandurs took part in the War of the Austrian Succession, including the First and Second Silesian War. They contributed to the capture or destruction of Zobten am Berge, Strehlen, Klaus Castle, Linz, Deggendorf, Diessenstein Castle, Cham, Cossel Fortress, and Munich. The Pandurs earned a reputation for being brave and audacious, as well as feared and ruthless soldiers, looting and pillaging, but also characterized by disobedience, breaches of military discipline and stubbornness.
