CIVIL WAR MILITIA SWORD. Antebellum period, C. 1840-50. Type carried by Non Commissioned Officers in both the North and South. See The America Sword, Peterson, #11. 27 1/4” double edged blade. Brass hilt with about 80% gold remaining and bone grip. State militias comprised the majority of combatants at the outbreak of the Civil War. As this sword survived the war and later, it can surely be assumed to have served. The absence of the stars and bars logo as found on the langets of many of these including this one, may indicate Southern use, as the prospect of war was festering by the 1830's. The doctrine of nullification was made law in South Carolina and in 1832, resulted in President Andrew Johnson threatening to send Federal troops to enforce the tariff laws. South Carolina's militias were called up and the state prepared for war. From the famous Frank Barnyak collection.

Italian M1860 Cavalry Trooper&#acute;s Sword. Description Curved, single-fullered spear-pointed blade. Black leather grip bound with brass wire. Steel hilt with turned over inner edge, large pierced teardrop-shaped hole to form two &#acute;bars&#acute;, and angled rectangular slot for sword knot. Stepped cylindrical steel pommel cap. Steel scabbard with two hanging rings. The ricasso of the blade is marked on one side with &#acute;S&K&#acute;, the maker&#acute;s mark of Schnitzler & Kirschbaum of Solingen, one of the German firms which manufactured these swords on behalf of the Italian government. The hilt is stamped with the serial number &#acute;156&#acute;. The blade’s edge is unsharpened but there are a few very small dents and edge imperfections, with one noticeable chip/roll where the fuller ends. A couple of small dents to the edge of the guard. Some patina to the scabbard, light pitting at the chape end, one noticeable dent to the lower section and one very small dent at the chape.

French M1816 Artillery Sidearm, Naval Markings. Description Leaf-shaped blade with two short, narrow fullers and single long fuller, solid brass hilt, brass grip with fishscale texture and three steel rivets, oval brass pommel. No scabbard. The blade is stamped on one side with &#acute;Manceaux&#acute;, a sword manufacturer based in Paris, and on the other side with a proof mark &#acute;B&#acute;. The hilt is stamped with a tilde-shaped mark (~), an anchor and the serial number &#acute;1510&#acute;. The anchor mark is very interesting, suggesting naval usage of what was designed to be an artilleryman&#acute;s sidearm. Sidearms with the form of a neoclassical &#acute;gladius&#acute; appear to have originated with the French 1771 &#acute;Eagle Head&#acute; Artillery sword. A series of very similar-looking short swords were subsequently designed, including the French 1816 & 1831 Artillery, the US Model 1832 Foot Artillery, the Swiss 1842 Pioneer&#acute;s, the Russian 1848 Pioneer&#acute;s and the British 1855 Land Transport. While durable and simple to manufacture, they were not particularly useful for combat (the gladius having become obsolete for good reasons) so remained either ceremonial items or in the role of a machete for various field tasks such as clearing brush. The blade has areas of light patination and scattered light pitting. The hilt is quite bright and has some small dents to raised edges “ the rivets have a dark patina.

German Circa 1910 Cavalry Officer’s Sword. Description Curved, single-fullered blade, Brass P-shaped stirrup hilt with shield-shaped langets, brass backstrap with lion head pommel cap, grey shagreen grip bound with wire. Steel scabbard painted with gloss black lacquer. The blade is etched on both sides with multiple stands of arms including armour, swords, axes, banners and drums, surrounded by foliage. The hilt, langets and backstrap are also cast with many details including leaves, oak leaves with acorns, victor&#acute;s laurels surrounding a shield, a Maltese cross, a lance and crossed swords (with visible sword knots) behind a shield, and a detailed lion&#acute;s head with mane. The shagreen grip is fairly good, with a few scales lost to the midsection where the grip bulges. The wire binding has been mostly lost, however, with only a few loops remaining, and these all loose or broken. The blade has a frosted appearance, marks from sharpening and several small nicks along its edge. The scabbard has some rubbing to the lacquer and one or two chips. Interestingly the lacquer must have been quite thickly applied, as it has run in places. This may have been applied to comply with changing Army regulations around 1910. Swords like this were privately purchased from a number of different makers during the early 20th century, all following similar design cues such as the lion&#acute;s head pommel. Its quite slender blade is probably intended as a dress or presentation rather than fighting sword, though it has nonetheless been sharpened and the black scabbard is more suggestive of field than parade use.

AMERICAN STATE MILITIA NCO’S SWORD. Probably Civil War. Plated hilt with plumed visored helmet form pommel and “bow tie” guard. Reeded bone grip. 25 7/8” blade of medially fullered double edged fighting form. Plated scabbard with deeply hand-chiseled figure of a semi nude “wild man” standing over a severed head, a saltire and four leaf clover. Well used with the plating well preserved throughout. Swords of this type were produced for state militias, which comprised most of the combatants during the Civil War. The use of plating was not accepted under Federal regulations, but was well established and used extensively in hand guns and other applications. The figures on the scabbard were engraved before plating and evidently custom to the order of the sword's owner. Federal policy was that officers purchased and owned their swords. Militia policies varied and in fact, this sword may have been owned by a commissioned officer. As militias were adequately armed, as least by the end of the Civil War, a pre war or Civil War date is almost certain. After the war, there was a glut of swords and little need to produce them. Worth some research.

The obverse is etched with foliate scrollwork surrounding a flaming grenade and a field gun.

The blade and etching are in good condition. The etching is clear and the blade retains its polish with only very minor speckles of tarnish, mainly toward the point.The spine bears the serial number 383 and the ricasso bears a proof disk with the letter “s” and the word “PROVED.” Steve Langham and James Elstob in their excellent online research have identified the proof stud as dating to between 1892 and 1911, with examples of the 3-digit serial number dating to the reign of Edward VII.The 3-bar steel hilt is in in good condition. The ray skin grip is in good condition with use-related wear and fading. The twisted wire binding is intact. The knurled steel back strap has a stepped pommel and rounded tang nut.

British 1897 Pattern Boer War Royal Engineer Officers Sword. S. J. Pillin. #2405006.

J. Pillin, Gerrards St., London. The obverse ricasso bears Pillin’s proof stud. The blade retains its original leather washer and is firm in the hilt.The steel bowl guard is of 1897 pattern and bears the royal cypher of Queen Victoria and pierced foliate design.

British Victorian Mounted Police Sword. #2401001. Constabulary short swords were standard issue in the 19th Century for members of the British police and prison wardens.

The blade is in good condition with a few small patches of cleaned pitting along the spine.The brass guard has a “D” shaped knuckle bow with disk quillon and stepped oval pommel through which the tang is peened.

The grip is in very good condition and the blade is firm in the hilt.The sword is complete with its original leather scabbard with brass locket and chape. The locket and chape have minor use-related shallow dings. The leather of the scabbard is in very good condition and the seam is mostly intact except for a 40mm section above the chape.
