GOTHIC SHORTSWORD, GERMAN C.1450. 19 ¼” length with 13 ¾” blade of heavy wedge section. Excavated with its pommel cap and two of three grip rivets intact. Closely related to the scramseax of centuries earlier, these were swords of peasants, untrained in fencing, but of extraordinary musculature resulting from their backbreaking work. They were kept in the house at the front door for defense and carried when foul play might be encountered as when going to town. That they are weapons and not working knives, is verified by the fact that their original form is preserved, uncompromised by repeated sharpening, as would be the case with a working knife or tool.

GOTHIC EUROPEAN SHORTSWORD. 15th century. Fine example of the short swords carried by commoners in defiance of the laws against that class carrying weapons. Made by swordsmiths to the same standard as the knightly swords of the period, they were likely the most valuable possession of their respective owners. These short swords are distinguished from working knives in several ways. They are generally longer and designed to move the percussion point toward the hilt, allowing for better control and maneuverability. Work knives of this size were intended for heavy service and made of wrought iron with a hardened steel edge forge welded on. Additionally, when encountered, these do not show the edge loss to sharpening seen on working knives. This example is 15 5/8” length with slab side blade, with broad beveled edge. The right side has a long acutely beveled false edge. The integral tang retains two grip rivets and the base of the side lug guard which circumvented the prohibition of cross guards on blades of this size. Professionally stabilized condition. An affordable true Gothic sword.

French Naval Cutlass Early 19th Century. Very Rare. #2407018. This rare French naval cutlass dates to around 1800-1820 and was developed to supply arms to the merchant marine. A similar cutlass is described in Michel Petard’s book, “Le Sabre D’ Abordage.”The 720mm single-edged blade has a broad fuller below a flat spine and terminates in a hatchet point. The blade is a re-purposed sword blade. It was quite common throughout Europe for existing blades to be shortened for use in cutlasses for arming enlisted seamen, both for expediency and as a cost cutting measure.The blade is in good condition for its age, with shallow pitting and speckled tarnish along its length. The blade has been cleaned.The forte of the blade bears a faint anchor stamp. So too does the spine.The cast iron hilt has an off-set oval guard which is stamped to the front with worn marks and an anchor. The iron knuckle bow continues into a crude pommel cap through which the tang is peened. The knuckle bow bears the clearest anchor stamp. The hardwood grip has slight age-related cracking and remains in good strong condition. The blade is firm in the hilt.This is a rare example of an early 19th Century French naval cutlass in very good condition.

MATCHING DATE & REGIMENT MARKS British WD 1893 Dated 1885 Pattern Cavalry Troopers Sword With German Made Weyersberg Kirschbaum & Co Solingen Regiment Marked ‘Y NTBH’ To The Northumberland Yeomanry Hussars & Scabbard. Sn 17136:4 -. There were two distinctions for which the Northumberland (Hussars) were especially proud. The first was that the regiment was the sole ‘Imperial Service’ Yeomanry regiment before the Great War, during which the second distinction was that the First Line was the first Territorial Force unit in action. The Northumberland (Hussars) could trace its origins to December 1819 when the Northumberland and Newcastle Volunteer Corps of Cavalry formed, under the command of Charles John Brandling, of Gosforth House. Justification for its formation was attributed to the revolutionary spirit then especially prevalent in the North of England. On a pro rata basis Northumberland and Durham sent more volunteers to South Africa than any other district. Ninety-seven officers and men of the contingents from the two counties gave their lives for their country in the South African campaign. This is an excellent original, 1885 Pattern British Cavalry Troopers Sword with Scabbard both Regiment marked to the Northumberland Yeomanry Hussars & dated 1893. These swords were designed during the period when the British army was continuing to argue on the merits of the ‘cut’ versus the ‘thrust’ of British cavalry blades. The hilt design features a Maltese Cross motif cut into the knuckle guard and is a distinctive feature of these swords (see pages 48 – 57 of Swords Of The British army by Robson). The Sword’s fullered 34 ¼” blade has just light staining consistent with age. It measures 39 ½” overall length. The grip strap and blade have WD inspection marks. The ricasso is marked by the German manufacturer ‘Weyersberg Kirschbaum & Co Solingen’. The back of the blade has inspection marks. The knuckle guard has the correct Maltese cross motif which has Regiment marks ‘‘Y NTBH’ To The Northumberland Yeomanry Hussars it is also dated ‘11/1893’ (November 1893) & weapon number ‘121’. It has the correct boiled leather chequered scales in very good condition secured by the correct 5 rivets. It is complete with its steel scabbard which has 2 fixed hanging rings. The scabbard has matching Regiment, date & weapon number marks The price includes UK delivery. Sn 17136:4
