AMERICAN SECRET SOCIETY SWORD. Knights of Friendship, a relatively small and obscure secret society founded by Dr. Mark Kerr in 1859. The popularity of secret societies in America expanded after the Civil War making this one of the earliest. The plated hilt has an arrow cluster among sun, moon, and stars, and globe form pommel with a C on each side (significance unknown). Black japanned grip. The blade is 28 ½” in length, double-edged and excellent. The plated scabbard retains its suspension chains with high relief figure of a 3/4 armor atop a cross through a crown. That last is a Masonic symbol and it is known that Kerr was a Mason, suggesting that the Knights of Friendship, like other know groups, was an auxiliary of the Free Masons.

Prussian M1816 Infantry Hanger / Sabre. Description Curved hanger blade with hatchet point, single fuller. Cast brass heart-shaped hilt with short quillon and knucklebow, brass grip with diagonal grooves on one side and smooth on the other, round brass pommel. No scabbard. Blade 25Â½ inches (65cm) in length, the sword 31Â½ inches (80cm) overall. The M1816 was a near-copy of its predecessor the M1715 infantry sword. The Napoleonic Wars having finally concluded, the Prussian army chose in 1815 to adopt the French infantry saber as standard for their infantry “ the Guards regiments however preferred the old Prussian model and so new stocks were produced. The blade is of the form the English called a &#acute;hanger&#acute; although German sources consider it a sabre. Sturdy and simple to produce, these swords had a long service life, remaining in use longest as a parade weapon with the SchloÃ&159;garde-Kompanie (guards of the royal palaces) until they units were disbanded with the end of the Prussian monarchy in 1918. This example is very slightly non-standard, having simpler ferrules and a blade about 3/8 of an inch longer. It bears no official markings so might be a privately purchased version. The blade has a bright polished finish. There are a few small nicks to the blade around its midsection and some very small patches of pitting in the same area. The brass of the hilt has an even patina, with the usual minor dents and some brown spotting. It has one small crack near where the knucklebow meets the hilt, but remains solid with no movement. The quillon is bent slightly to one side.

US MILITIA SWORD C.1830-40. Pattern similar to Peterson #11. Brass hilt with ribbed bone grip.

British Lee Enfield No. 5 Jungle Carbine Bayonet by Wilkinson. Description Single-fullered bowie knife blade with clipped point. Wood scale grips secured with two screws. Mk I steel scabbard with flush mouthpiece, round frog stud and drainage hole at the chape. Green canvas frog with retaining loop. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;W.S.C.&#acute; for the Wilkinson Sword Company, and on the other side with a broad arrow, a letter &#acute;B&#acute; and an &#acute;X&#acute; indicating the blade passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test. The reverse of the frog is inked with the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;M. W. & G LTD 1946&#acute;, a broad arrow, &#acute;AF 0261.&#acute;, and another broad arrow over &#acute;26&#acute;. The No. 5 Bayonet was developed during WW2 amidst ongoing discussions about the future of British bayonet design. The long 1907 Pattern sword bayonets were clearly a thing of the past, while the very short No. 4 spike bayonets were easy to manufacture but crude, and of little use as anything but a bayonet. The Armament Design Department based at Cheshunt designed a shortened knife blade bayonet, with prototyping done by Wilkinson. By 1943 the blade shape had settled on that of a Bowie knife, and production began at Wilkinson. The No. 5 fitted to the new Lee Enfield No. 5 Mk I rifle designed at the same time: a shortened and lightened form of the No. 4 originally intended for airborne troops. In the event the No. 5 saw most use in the Far East, both during WW2 and in postwar conflicts, earning it the nickname &#acute;Jungle Carbine&#acute;. This rifle had a new flared flash hider which made it incompatible with any older bayonets “ the noticeably large muzzle ring of the No. 5 bayonet was shaped to accommodate it. It also fitted to the Sterling submachine gun designed in the same period. Around 330,000 No. 5 bayonets were manufactured between 1943 and 1945. The blade is bright with no edge damage, a few very light track marks near the tip from sheathing and drawing. The hilt, pommel and base of the blade retain their original blued finish with light wear on raised edges revealing bright steel. The wood grips are undamaged with some light scuffing on one side and a little chipping around the edges of the screw holes. The scabbard is painted black with one very small chip on the front face. The frog is unblemished with all of its stitching intact.

Indian 19th Century Foot Artillery Sword. Description Slightly curved unfullered blade with false edge and spear point. Blade 65.8cm in length, Â¼ inch (6.5mm) thick at the shoulder, the sword 78.4cm overall. Steel hilt with forward curving comma-shaped quillon and recurved single bar knucklebow. Full-width tang with slab grips of black hardwood secured by five rivets. Flat teardrop-shaped pommel. No scabbard. These swords are thought to have been used by one of the princely states of British India during the 19th century. Princely states were protectorates with a degree of autonomy and sometimes considerable wealth, which could raise and equip their own armies or even navies. The swords are somewhat scarce “ supposedly all extant examples were discovered as a group and exported together during the 1980s, presumably as a clearout of an old armoury. If true this suggests that they were a small custom order probably intended for a single unit. No scabbards appear to have survived, if they had one originally. The outside of the knucklebow is engraved in Hindi with what appears to be à¤&156; à¥ª à¥¦. In the Devanagari script à¤&156; is a consonant with the sound &#acute;ja&#acute; and à¥ª à¥¦ are numerals for &#acute;4 0&#acute;. I therefore believe this is a rack or serial number, essentially equivalent to &#acute;J40&#acute;. All other examples I can find use the à¤&156; prefix and two following digits “ I have noted &#acute;2 9&#acute; and &#acute;5 0&#acute;. Were there fewer than 100 examples? Its design is clearly inspired by standard-issue British Army swords of the 19th century, especially the 1853 Pattern Cavalry Trooper&#acute;s sword, which also uses a full-width tang, black slab grips secured by five rivets and a similar shaped quillon. This model in particular seems to have been well regarded in India “ the swords used by the cavalry of the Baroda State were also modelled on it. The blade reminds me somewhat of that of the Baker rifle bayonet: a similar length, unfullered, with a prominent false edge. Baker bayonets were often used as sidearms even beyond the life of the Baker rifle itself. However, some elements of its design are simpler than on British types, such as its unfullered blade and lack of leather covering on the grips, and its construction seems more artisanal than one would expect from British workshops or even larger Indian workshops like Rodwell & Co which made the Baroda swords. This may mean that the swords were made locally by blacksmiths. They are consistently referred to as &#acute;foot artillery&#acute; swords and this seems reasonable given their design, but I can find no hard evidence for it. They are certainly too short for cavalry use and their thick heavy blades (with essentially no distal taper until the last 12cm) are a far cry from the light, flexible and razor-sharp cutting swords favoured by most Indian swordsmen. Indian foot troops would have been shorter men than the British in that period, and if they were indeed artillerymen they would have also had to kneel while crewing guns without their sidearms getting in the way, and would not have been expected to fight hand-to-hand except in extremis. The blade has been sharpened along the true edge, the false edge is unsharpened. The blade has some spots of patination, one larger spot also with light pitting, some tiny divots which I think are imperfections in forging. Some undulation to the spine, possibly from hand manufacture, with patination to the recessed areas. Some areas of darker patination to the hilt and exposed tang. One grip slab is intact, the other has areas of chipping which partly expose the tang on the edge side and one of the rivets next to the pommel.

British Boer War 1888 Pattern Bayonet, 2nd Battalion Devonshire Regiment. Description Unfullered spear pointed blade, wood scale grips with two brass rivets. Steel pommel and hilt with short quillon and muzzle ring. Black leather Land Mk I pattern scabbard with steel throat and chape. The blade is stamped on one side of the ricasso with a a crowned &#acute;V.R.&#acute; over a production date of &#acute;9 &#acute;90&#acute;, meaning September 1890, as well as reissue stamps &#acute;95, &#acute;96 and &#acute;99, and four crown inspection marks with &#acute;B&#acute; for Birmingham. On the other side it is stamped with a broad arrow and &#acute;WD&#acute; meaning War Department property, a crown inspection mark with &#acute;W&#acute; for Wilkinson, two &#acute;X&#acute; marks which indicates that the blade passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test and a mirrored letter &#acute;R&#acute;, which is a condemnation mark indicating the equipment was deemed no longer fit for service. The spine of the blade is stamped with a faint crown inspection mark with &#acute;W&#acute;. The pommel is stamped with the unit mark &#acute;2. DVN&#acute;, indicating the 2nd Battalion of the Devonshire Regiment and the number &#acute;1_8&#acute; (centre digit obscured by a dent). The throat piece of the scabbard is stamped on one side of the mouth with &#acute;4&#acute;, and next to the staple on one side with a crown inspection mark with &#acute;E&#acute; for the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield, and on the other side with &#acute;7&#acute;. The scabbard leather is stamped next to the seam on one side with another broad arrow and &#acute;WD&#acute;, another crown inspection mark with &#acute;E&#acute;, and the production date &#acute;95. Several short-lived infantry regiments were raised by Henry Somerset, Duke of Beaufort from 1667 onwards - only the Beaufort Musketeers, formed in 1685 against the Monmouth Rebellion, became established and became the 11th Foot in 1751, later given the county association of North Devonshire. A second battalion was formed in 1809 and it became the Devonshire Regiment in the reforms of 1881. The 2nd battalion served in Burma in 1890, where contemporary photographs show the regiment still carrying the Martini Henry rifle. It then moved to Egypt and returned to England in 1893, whereupon it would have been re-equipped with the new Lee Metford rifle and bayonet. It deployed to South Africa in November 1899 for the Second Boer War, where it served with distinction as part of the 2nd Brigade at several major battles, including Colenso, Spion Kop, Vaal Krantz and Monte Cristo, returning to England in 1903. During WW1 the 2nd Battalion served on the Western Front. The battalion as a unit was awarded the unique battle honour &#acute;Bois des Buttes&#acute;, and was the first British unit ever to be awarded the French Croix de Guerre, for a defensive action in May 1918 that significantly disrupted an otherwise successful German offensive. It fought in Malta, Italy and the Battle of Normandy. The 2nd battalion was disbanded in 1948 “ the remaining battalion of the Devonshire Regiment was amalgamated with the Dorset Regiment in 1958 to form the Devonshire and Dorset Regiment, which was merged with the other three regiments of the Light Division to form The Rifles in 2007. Its lineage is maintained by 1st Battalion, The Rifles. The blade is bright with some nicks to its lower edge and a rounded tip (

German WW1 Ersatz Bayonet “ Carter Type EB47. Description Spear-pointed knife blade with single fuller, 312mm (12Â¼ inches) in length, 432mm (17 inches) overall. Steel hilt and grip both painted green, the hilt of one-piece construction with split muzzle ring and backward-curving quillon. Steel scabbard painted &#acute;feldgrau&#acute; grey with frog hook, brown leather frog. The spine of the blade near the hilt is stamped with a crown inspection mark. The back of the frog is stamped with a clear &#acute;K38&#acute; and an indistinct maker&#acute;s mark heavily worn by rubbing. Interesting stitched repair to one of the belt loop rivets on the frog. The &#acute;ersatz&#acute; bayonets were simplified models produced near the beginning of WW1 to fit the Gewehr 88 rifle: production had to be ramped up rapidly to equip the expanding German army, and existing factories either could not cope with demand or preferred to manufacture rifles, leaving bayonets to be made in many cases by smaller firms or ones which did not previously produce weapons. These hastily crafted bayonets had a hard life: many were used to destruction or sold into Turkish service. There are many types to collect: in the nomenclature of Carter&#acute;s definitive book on the subject, this would be an EB47 type.

US MILITIA NON COMISSIONED OFFICER’S SWORD, CIVIL WAR OR LATER. One of the many variants (see Peterson #11 and #12) which were purchased by state militias before, during and after the Civil War. Brass hilt with cruciform guard and shield form langets. Plumed helmet pommel and reded bone grip. 27 3/8” rounded face straight double-edged blade struck with a walking bear maker's mark at the forte. That mark is well known, but the subject of some confusion. It is recorded on some Civil War swords, but mostly later examples. It may be the mark of the Weyersberg family of sword makers who were active before the Civil War. Brass mounted leather covered steel scabbard, the screw for the bottom mount lacking. As with most undated swords of types used during the Civil War, dating is speculative. However, it would be perfectly at home in a Civil War collection.
