C1900 Brazilian Republic Heavy Cavalry Troopers Sword With Pipeback Blade By Weyersberg Kirschbaum & Co Solingen Germany & Scabbard. Sn 12555:4. -. On November 15, 1889 Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca deposed Emperor Dom Pedro II, declared Brazil a republic, and reorganized the Government. From 1889 to 1930, the Government was a constitutional democracy, but democracy was nominal. Immediately after the Republic was established Imperial German arms manufacturers supplied Brazil with arms and equipment to bolster the new regime’s military. The Republic ended in 1930 with a military coup, also known as the Brazilian Revolution of 1930 that installed Getúlio Vargas as a dictator. This is an excellent original, Brazilian Republic Heavy Cavalry Troopers Sword & Scabbard made in Germany C1900. The Sword’s 32” pipeback blade has some areas of light staining and pitting but no rust. The blade is fitted with original leather hilt washer. The sword measures 38” overall length. The full steel knuckle bow is faintly marked with the Brazilian Republic Crest with 5 pointed star and banner ‘15 De Novembro De 1889’ commemorating the establishment of the Republic (illustrated). A sword with a similar crest is illustrated on page 142 of World Swords by Withers. The blade is marked by the German manufacturer ‘Weyersberg Kirschbaum & Co Solingen’ (illustrated) and the back of the blade has a small 5 pointed star Brazilian Republic inspection mark. Its leather covered wood hilt is wire bound. The hilt has service wear but the wire binding is tight and intact. It is complete with its original steel scabbard with single hanging ring. The scabbard has even patina throughout and just a few minor dents consistent with age and service use. Price includes UK delivery. Sn 12555:4.

British 1845 Pattern Naval Cutlass with Brass Hilt. Description Slightly curved, unfullered spear pointed blade, brass bowl hilt with turned-over edges and sword knot slit, cast iron ribbed grip, brass teardrop shaped pommel cap. No scabbard. Blade 28 3/8 inches in length, 1/8 inch thick at the shoulder, the cutlass 34 inches overall. Experiments during the early 1840s for a new naval cutlass design to replace the venerable 1804 Pattern resulted in a design by George Lovell, the Inspector of Small Arms, being accepted in 1842. A fire at the Tower of London destroyed early stocks and the design did not enter service in bulk until three years later, hence being termed the 1845 Pattern. It was considered very successful, handling well compared to its bulky predecessor the 1804 Pattern and being simpler to manufacture. Being a clone of the 1845 Pattern but with a brass hilt and an entirely unmarked blade, this is almost certainly a commercially produced version intended for sale to merchant shipping or export. There is a number on the hilt next to the base of the blade in white paint, partly rubbed and probably not antique, perhaps an old collection number “ the digits &#acute;27&#acute; are visible. May and Annis state quite conclusively in Swords for Sea Service (Vol. 1 p.92) that with regard to British cutlasses: &156;It is possible that unmarked blades may still be naval but it is more likely that they were made for foreign navies or for civilian use. This would also account for cutlasses sometimes found with brass guards, for brass guards were never used in the Royal Navy.&157; Like other swords of the period it has a low carbon tang and shoulder, forge welded to a higher carbon steel blade, and the differential aging of the two materials can be seen clearly at the transition point. The two pieces were chamfered to increase the surface area of the weld: one can see the diagonal line of the weld on the spine and the iron surface extends further up the blade on the right face than the left (roughly 7Â¾ inches vs 6Â¾ inches). The blade has some patination overall, has been sharpened and has some nicks to its edge. The tip of the blade is rounded, worn down by about 2mm. The brass hilt is patinated with some scratches and light dents. The cast iron grip has some light handling wear to its surface and three slit-like holes on one side in the channels between the &#acute;ribs&#acute;, which go through to the hollow interior of the grip. These I think are probably casting flaws. The brass hilt has a curvature to its top face that is a little more extreme than that of the military model, this seems to have produced a gap between the inside of the hilt and the ferrule, and a small gap at the shoulder of the blade on the spine side. The hilt can shift slightly side to side with pressure but the blade and grip are well peened together making the cutlass firm in the hand.

GERMAN GOTHIC SHORT SWORD C.1450. Forged iron, 12 1/4” total length. Thick wedge section blade as found on ballock daggers. Made to penetrate the thick leather doublets worn at the time for protection from attack. Flattened tang, pierced for securing scale grips, probably antler or bone. Made without a guard as was prohibited for peasants, but with the rudimentary scroll side lug which served that purpose. Stable rust growth with minor flaking and very minimal losses. Excavated and professionally preserved. These swords were carried by peasants who were otherwise forbidden to carry weapons. They were justified as agricultural tools, but their use as weapons is verified by the fact that they lack the repeated sharpening and reshaping of the blades which results from agricultural use. A true German Gothic sword.

. A Scarce Prize Sabre for the Newcastle & Northumberland Vol. Cavalry which was the original name of the Northumberland Yeomanry. Formed in 1819 by Colonel Brandling for the purpose of ‘rendering effectual aid to the civil power in case of disturbance' the NNVC did indeed have to fulfil this function on several occasions in the early years including the strike riots of keelmen in 1822 when they remained on duty for 21 days and the miners strike of 1831 when they did 31 days on duty, in time such disturbances became less and the yeomanry were retained ‘for the purpose of defence against possible invasion'. They undertook 8 days annual training on the Town Moor and it was probably on these occasions that prize sabres were awarded for competitions or achievements such as best swordsman in a troop or proficiency in training. Prize sabres were often privately purchased and presented to troopers by officers or other benefactors of the regiment. The name of the regiment was changed to Northumberland (Hussars) Yeomanry Cavalry in 1876 and it went on to serve in the Boer War as Imperial Yeomanry where, along with Durham, Northumberland provided more volunteers than any other district and saw extensive service and in the First World War where the regiment was one of the first territorial units into active service and saw at action at First Ypres and many other engagements on the Western Front and at Gallipoli and other campaigns in the Middle East. 1821 pattern cavalry sabre with bright single edged blade double edged at the point, cut with a long fuller running along the back-edge, decorated with royal arms, scrolling foliage and, 'N.N.V.C. PRIZE SABRE' on a scroll, regulation steel hilt, with wire bound fish-skin grip, in original steel scabbard with two suspension rings. The fullered ‘Wilkinson' type blade indicates a date after 1845 but the lack of a proof slug and the style of the etching suggests a relatively early date of perhaps about 1845-50. Dimensions: Blade Length: 35.5 Inches (90.10 cm) Overall Length: 41 Inches (104.10 cm)

British 1899 Pattern Cavalry Trooper&#acute;s Sword, 1st King&#acute;s Dragoon Guards. Description Curved single-fullered sabre blade, Steel bowl guard with turned-over inside edge. No washer. Black pressed leather grips secured to the exposed full-width tang with three large rivets, steel pommel. No scabbard. Blade ~33Â¼ inches (85.6cm) in length, the sword ~40 inches (101.7) overall. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with a broad arrow War Department mark, &#acute;EFD&#acute; indicating manufactured at the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield, a crown inspection stamp with &#acute;E&#acute; for Enfield and an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating the blade passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test. It is stamped on the other side with reissue dates of &#acute;02, &#acute;03 and &#acute;06 and two further Enfield crown inspection stamps. The spine of the blade is stamped with &#acute;/99&#acute;, its pattern, and another Enfield crown inspection mark. The exposed tang is stamped near the hilt with the letters &#acute;G&#acute; and &#acute;X&#acute;. The outside of the guard is stamped with another broad arrow, &#acute;EFD&#acute; and crown inspection stamp with &#acute;E&#acute;. The inside of the guard is stamped with the issue date &#acute;9 06&#acute; for September 1906 above the unit mark &#acute;1 DG&#acute;, indicating the 1st King&#acute;s Dragoon Guards and the serial number &#acute;413&#acute;. The &#acute;D&#acute; has been double stamped creating an overlap. The 1899 Pattern cavalry trooper&#acute;s sword was introduced on the 19th October 1899, eight days after the Second Boer War broke out. It was intended to be a refinement on the 1890 Pattern, with a slightly shorter blade, greater protection for the hand and a longer grip. Users generally considered it on the heavy side and much more effective in the thrust than the cut: this cemented the growing consensus that cavalry swords should be built entirely for thrusting. The 1899 Pattern was carried during the Boer War, in which the 1st King&#acute;s Dragoon Guards served from January 1901. Immediately upon their arrival they were drafted into a brigade under Colonel Bethune which drove General De Wet&#acute;s forces out of the Cape Colony. They then operated in the Orange River Colony until the end of the war in 1902. The dates on this example suggest that it was in use with someone as of 1902, and the brown finish found in places on the hilt might well be field camouflage, but the 1906 date next to the unit mark suggests to me that it was not issued to the KDG until then, so its war service is uncertain. The blade has speckled patination with some patches of light pitting, increasing towards the tip. The edge has previously been sharpened with numerous nicks. The tip is rounded. The outside of the hilt has some denting, a few scratches, cleaned pitting and spots of dark patination. There is a noticeable red-brown finish present on most of the inside of the hilt (except near the lip where the unit mark is placed), parts of the exposed tang, and on small areas of the outside of the hilt, including around the sword knot slit and near the turned-over inner guard “ in both cases these are recesses where there would be less friction and polishing would be difficult. This finish may be chemical browning, it does not appear to be paint. Cavalry swords in the Boer War were routinely camouflaged due to the well-known marksmanship of the Boers. The leather grips have light handling wear, a few small dents and abrasions.

. An attributed sword almost certainly belonging to Colonel Edward James Courtenay 1848-1906, 35th Regiment (Royal Sussex Regiment). An 1822/45 Infantry Officers sword with regulation pattern brass hilt with folding section with wire bound fish-skin grip and 1845 type fullered blade, in steel scabbard with two suspension rings. The folding guard was superseded from around 1854 by a solid guard so this is a latish example but some officers had a preference for them. The blade is etched with crown, royal cypher, scrolling foliage and a crest of a branch of the Courtenay family showing a Dolphin embowed over a Ducal coronet with the motto Quod Verum Tutum (What is true is safe) above monogram EJC. The sword was retailed by J. B. Johnstone of Sackville Street London & Dublin. J. B. Johnstone traded from Sackville Street from at least 1861 to 1897, and this ties in with E. J.
