British Edwardian 1897 Pattern Infantry Officer&#acute;s Sword by J R Gaunt & Son, 1901-1910. Description Straight single-fullered spear-pointed blade. Steel hilt with pierced and imprinted decoration including the crown and cypher of King Edward VII. Steel ferrule, fully chequered steel backstrap, integral oval pommel with tang button. Wire-bound black shagreen grip, buff leather washer, black leather sword knot with acorn. Black leather field scabbard with frog strap and nickel-plated nonferrous throat piece. Blade 32Â¾ inches in length past the washer, 1.05 inches (2.67cm) wide at the shoulder, the sword 39 inches overall. Black canvas sword bag with chamois leather lining. The blade is faintly etched at the ricasso on one side with the retailer&#acute;s mark &#acute;G. PHILLIPS & SON OUTFITTERS PLYMOUTH&#acute;. At the ricasso on the other side is an etched six-pointed star within which is a brass proof slug stamped with &#acute;PROVED T&#acute;. The blade is further etched on one side with the royal crown and shield, on the other side with the crown and cypher of Edward VII (the cypher in its mirrored form), and on both sides with a wreath of laurel & palm and foliate motifs. There is a cartouche for the optional etching of the owner&#acute;s name, which has been left blank. There is little reference in my sources to the firm of Phillips and Son, which was clearly a military outfitter rather than a sword manufacturer. Like many such shops Phillips would have ordered its swords from a manufacturer, with their own branding added to the blades. These would then have been sold to an officer along with his uniform. Being a fortified port town, Plymouth outfitters might have seen more trade from the Royal Navy then the Army, but there was a considerable Royal Marines presence locally as well as battalions of the Devonshire Regiment and passing trade from troops transiting through the port. Swords with the Phillips mark are relatively rare and seem to all be from the Edwardian period suggesting it only traded in them briefly. Based on the design of the proof slug applied to the blade I am confident in identifying the actual maker as J. R. Gaunt & Son. J. R. Gaunt was another military outfitter which began producing its own swords in 1897 after it bought out Edward Thurkle and Sons, the Thurkle dynasty of cutlers having produced swords continuously since 1749. In the Edwardian period Gaunt traded from premises in both London and Birmingham. The proof slug used on Gaunt&#acute;s blades was for many years the same as that previously used by Thurkle. They kept the same mark to emphasise the pedigree, only creating their own design in the mid-1920s. Gaunt ceased manufacturing swords in 1942 and shut down altogether in 1969. King Edward VII reigned from 1901 to 1910, putting a relatively narrow date range on this sword&#acute;s production. Officer&#acute;s swords were privately purchased and the most common time for the officer to buy one was when he was newly commissioned, a sword being a necessary part of his new uniform, at which point the cypher of the current monarch would be used. The blade&#acute;s finish is excellent with only some light speckled patination in the lower section, a mirror polish on the tip section beyond the etching with only small areas of light frosting. The etching is bright and clear, retaining the contrast between the matt acid-etched background and the reflective polished designs within it. The blade&#acute;s edge is unsharpened and undamaged. The shagreen of the grip is all intact with light handling wear, its wire binding is all present and tight. The scabbard mouth, hilt, ferrule, backstrap and pommel have all been nickel-plated and this plating is in very good condition with light wear on the inside of the hilt where fingers would rub against it when held, one very small spot of wear on the pommel exposing patinated steel. The leather sword knot has some surface cracking to the leather where the movement of the acorn flexes it, otherwise it is excellent with very little wear and retains its black finish. The scabbard is likewise excellent: its throat piece is bright, its leather is glossy and lustrous with only a few very small dents or scuffs, all of its stitching is intact, its frog strap has a few very small surface cracks and wrinkles but is flexible and strong.

C1750 French Form Court / Diplomatic Rapier Sword With Ornate Cast Brass Hilt & Original Brass Mounted Leather Scabbard. Sn 22657 -. The court sword, French: épée de cour or dress sword) evolved out of the longer and heavier rapier of the late Renaissance. The height of the small sword’s popularity was between mid 17th and late 18th century. It is thought to have appeared in France and spread quickly across the rest of Europe. The court sword was the immediate predecessor of the French duelling sword from which the épée developed (see pages 270 to 282 of Wither’s book ‘World Swords’ where many variants of small & Court / diplomatic swords are illustrated). This is an original Circa 1750 Diplomatic court sword in French form. It has a cast brass hilt decorated with Ornate, cast floral and scroll motifs. The Knuckle bow and side ring quillons typical of diplomatic court swords. The egg-shaped pommel is decorated with relief designs. Its solid grip with intricate repoussé work rather than wire wrap and decoration to one side of the knuckle guard only suggests ceremonial or dress use. The slim 31 ¾” rapier type blade is fullered blade and undamaged and has just staining consistent with age. (38 ¼” overall). The blade has what looks like French inspection marks on both sides near to the hilt and one side has faint indistinct French style signature most likely that of the maker. The sword has its original Brass mounted leather scabbard. The throat mount has a frog locket and the long external chape has a decorative finial. The price for this attractive Court / Diplomatic sword worthy of further research includes UK delivery. Sn 22657

Swiss M1852 Cavalry Trooper&#acute;s Sword. Description Curved blade with hatchet point, with a long central fuller and shorter narrow fuller near the spine of the blade (a la Montmorency). Brass hilt with central knucklebow and two side bars, spiral ribbed grip of pressed black leather over wood. Steel scabbard with two hanging rings. Blade 36 inches in length, the sword 42 inches overall. The blade is stamped at the ricasso on one side with the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;Gebr: Weyersberg&#acute;, and on the other side with &#acute;Solingen&#acute; indicating the manufacturer Gebrüder Weyersberg (Weyersberg Brothers). Founded by the brothers Wilhem, Peter and Johann Ludwig Weyersberg in 1787, this major Solingen-based firm merged with W. R. Kirschbaum & Co in 1883, forming the even larger Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Co. which still exists today as WKC Stahl- und Metallwarenfabrik. The blade is also stamped in the fuller on one side with a crown over &#acute;AA&#acute;, the arsenal stamp of Bern, Switzerland, and the serial number &#acute;1060&#acute;. The French M1822 Light Cavalry sabre proved to be an extremely popular design. It was adopted by Belgium in 1834 after its independence from the Netherlands. The United States also adopted this sword as the Model 1840, and surplus French-made swords were sold to Poland and Finland in the 1920s. The Swiss initially adopted it as the M1842 - this example is the later M1852, which lacks the clipped point of its predecessor. The Swiss contracted production of the blades to firms in Solingen, Germany. I have also seen examples marked to Clemen & Jung, so the contracts were probably spread across multiple manufacturers. The blade is bright with only a few tiny spots of patination, a few nicks to the edge towards the point (beyond the end of the fuller). The brass hilt has a dark patina which I have left untouched. The grip&#acute;s wire binding has been lost, aside from a few stubs at the pommel end. The grip leather is intact with light handling wear. The scabbard is free of dents and is bright with some patination in the recesses.

British c1860 Volunteer Lancaster Bayonet. Description Unfullered pipeback blade with quill point, steel cross hilt with straight lower quillon with round forward-swept finial, and upper quillon projecting from the muzzle ring. Grip slabs of pressed black leather over wood, secured to the exposed tang with four rivets, one of which secures the external leaf spring which actuates the locking catch. Black leather scabbard with steel throat piece with oval frog stud and steel chape piece. Blade 58.9cm (~23 3/16 inches) in length, the bayonet 72.4cm (28Â½ inches) overall, muzzle ring diameter 20mm. The blade is stamped at the ricasso on one side with the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;CHAVASSE&#acute;, indicating manufacture by Chavasse & Co, Birmingham. The pommel is stamped with the number &#acute;208&#acute;, probably a rack or weapon number. The Lancaster carbine was adopted by the Royal Sappers and Miners (the precursor to the Royal Engineers) in 1855, and came with a bayonet that was unusual for British Army issue, as it used brass for its hilt, pommel and scabbard fittings and had a conspicuously long pipeback blade. Pipeback blades for swords had fallen out of usage on British swords in the 1840s: while they were intended to be stiff in the thrust with a durable point, they were difficult to forge, easily bent and the cutting edge was so thin as to be fragile. The design might have fared better on a bayonet for which thrusting was paramount, and the shorter blade was less likely to flex, but fullered blades were the norm and the Lancaster would be the only British pipeback bayonet. While its looks were striking on parade, the Lancaster bayonet was fragile, requiring more frequent repairs than other models. Despite this issue, sheer decorative appeal meant that the bayonets outlasted the carbines they were made for, being repurposed as parade sidearms for the Royal Army Medical Corps and remaining in service into the early 20th century. Shortly after the Lancaster&#acute;s introduction, growing tensions in Europe raised concerns about Britain&#acute;s vulnerability to potential invasion. To bolster national defenses the War Office sanctioned the establishment of &#acute;Volunteer Corps&#acute; in 1859. These units were somewhat a reinvention of the militia “ non-professional soldiers who were expected to provide their own uniform and equipment, train at regular intervals and be ready for mobilisation in case of invasion. Providing their own equipment extended to arms too “ some volunteer rifle units were provided with Army surplus but many instead pooled money and purchased weaponry from the commercial market. Volunteer rifle units generally purchased carbines wherever possible, and one option for a bayonet to pair with these was the Lancaster. Its looks may have appealed to volunteer soldiers, or its potential to double as a bayonet and a sidearm. Commercial versions differed from the service model: they usually had steel components instead of brass, and a different scabbard closer to that of the contemporary cutlass bayonets. See British & Commonwealth Bayonets by Skennerton, p123. These were not necessarily fitted to Lancaster carbines “ each bayonet would have been hand-fitted and this may have been to the Enfield short rifles or carbines, of which there were multiple models. The blade is unsharpened with no nicks to its edge. Some grinding and polishing marks to the blade, with some spots of patination, some frosting at the hilt end, areas of moderate pitting along the spine and small spots of heavy pitting on the flat of the blade in the pipeback section, some of these contacting the edge. The hilt, pommel, rivets and exposed tang have heavy dark patination and speckled light pitting, moderate pitting to the muzzle ring and upper quillon. The locking button functions well. The leather grips are very good with no apparent wear to the knurling, beside some surface rubbing at the pommel end. One small dent to the exposed tang. The scabbard leather has some surface rubbing and flaking but is generally strong with all of its stitching intact, able to support its own weight. The scabbard throat and chape pieces are heavily patinated with peppered heavy pitting, some small dents to the chape piece which do not interfere with sheathing and drawing.

French 1870 Franco-Prussian War ’Defense Nationale’ Bayonet for the Remington Rolling Block Rifle, Repurposed M1831 Sword Blade. Description Straight unfullered blade with spear point, cross hilt with muzzle ring and hooked lower quillon with ball finial. Ribbed cast brass grip and beaked pommel, one steel rivet which also secures the external leaf spring which actuates the locking catch, peened tang at the pommel. Steel scabbard with frog loop. Blade length: 48.6cm (19 1/8 inches), overall length 61.1cm (~24 inches), muzzle ring diameter 18mm. The hilt is stamped on one side with the serial number &#acute;859&#acute;. These bayonets were made at the French arsenal of Chatellerault for two months of the year 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War (July 1870 - January 1871), intended to fit the Remington Rolling Block rifle. They are sometimes referred to as &#acute;Defense Nationale&#acute; bayonets, presumably because they were commissioned as a matter of emergency for national defense. They are in many respects like the German &#acute;ersatz&#acute; bayonets of WW1, including the use of repurposed materials: the French combined the hilt and grip of the M1866 Chassepot bayonet with blades of the much older M1816 and M1831 infantry sidearms, (both of &#acute;gladius&#acute; style). These obsolete short swords were presumably seen as expendable sources of good blade steel, but they needed significant reshaping to make serviceable bayonets. One edge of the double-edged, diamond profile blade has been ground down to form a flat spine and clear the way for the rifle to be fired. The blade was originally leaf-shaped broadening slightly along its length, and this is still visible in the remaining edge. The shoulder of the blade has been slimmed on both sides. With no fuller and no additional distal taper the blade remains noticeably heavy for a bayonet: a standard M1866 weighs 622g while this piece weighs 774g, despite being nearly 10cm (4in) shorter. Note the small divots on the third rib of the brass grips, placed as a guide to where a second grip rivet would usually be located. That rivet is always absent on these models. Its scabbard is a modified version of the standard M1866 scabbard: identical in its upper section but in its lower section it remains straight rather than curving as the M1866 must to accommodate a yataghan blade. It is oversized in length relative to the bayonet it holds. They were finished in bright steel, never blued. The French acquired around 210,000 Rolling Block rifles from Remington during the Franco-Prussian War, most being the model ordered by Egypt in 1869, chambered in .43. The Egyptian government had been delinquent in payment so Remington happily resold its initial order of 60,000 to France and produced the rest thereafter “ the Egyptians had to wait until 1876 to get theirs. Many of the rifles acquired by France were adapted to use the M1866 Chassepot bayonet but these rare bayonets are examples of an attempt to go in the opposite direction. One may marvel today at the very idea of there ever having been a shortage of Chassepot bayonets. See page 415 of Collecting Bayonets by Maddox for discussion of this type.

The blade is double-edged for the final 260mm and retains its fighting edge.The blade is etched on one side with the winged lightning bolts of the Royal Artillery amidst foliate scrollwork incorporating the flowers of the union. The obverse is etched with foliate scrollwork and flowers of the union surrounding the Georgian crown and the royal arms. A pair of thistles flank a small royal cypher of George V, suggesting that the sword was the property of a Scottish officer. A field gun and the motto, “UBIQUE.” Complete the etching. The blade and etching are in good condition. The etching is clear and the blade retains its polish with only minor speckles of tarnish.Interestingly, the spine is without a Wilkinson serial number, the spine is only marked “Made in England.” The ricasso bears an un-stamped hexagonal proof disk. The hexagonal disk would normally show an italicised letter H identifying the sword as being a “Wilkinson best quality.” The obverse ricasso is blank.

The blade is firm in the hilt.The 1901 pattern brown leather covered field scabbard in in good condition and remains strong with the stitching intact. The leather at the top of the scabbard is stamped with the Wilkinson makers details, making the lack of maker identification on the sword more surprising.
