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.

British Mark I 1856 Pattern Drummer’s Sword, Royal Fusiliers, Circa 1886 by Mole. Description Straight unfullered double-edged spear-pointed blade with diamond cross-section, brass hilt with central VR cypher of Queen Victoria, triangular langets and trefoil finials. Longitudinally ribbed brass grip, flared pommel with tang button. Black leather scabbard with brass fittings at throat and chape, the throat piece with teardrop-shaped frog stud. The brass grip is stamped on one of the narrow, smooth sides with &#acute;R F. L.COY.&#acute;, indicating that this sword was issued to L Company of the Royal Fusiliers, as well as a broad arrow over &#acute;WD&#acute; which is a War Department stores mark, and a crown inspection stamp. The other smooth side of the grip is marked with what are probably rack numbers including &#acute;33&#acute;. All the grip markings are somewhat faint due to rubbing which has somewhat smoothed the features of the hilt overall “ this is probably attributable to repeated polishing of the brass, probably during its service life. The edge of the ricasso is stamped on one side with an illegible mark that may be two overlaid stamps. The throat piece of the scabbard is stamped on one edge with the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;MOLE&#acute;, and next to the throat with the date &#acute;2 . 1886&#acute; indicating February 1886, probably the manufacture date. These short swords were issued to drummers of infantry regiments. While the pattern was ordered to be adopted in 1856, there is evidence that similar-looking swords were being carried by musicians in some units as early as 1843, and some units did not actually adopt the new pattern until years after its introduction. Wholly ornamental, an identical version with a cast iron hilt was issued for buglers. The blade has some light patination in places. The brass hilt and grip has a few tiny spots of patination in recesses, raised areas with overpolishing as previously mentioned. A few small nicks to the unsharpened edge on one side near the midpoint. The leather of the scabbard remains flexible “ take care to support it when withdrawing the blade. Some surface-level flaking and cracking to the leather. All its stitching is intact. The brass pieces of the scabbard have a darker patina. Some dents to the edges of the throat piece. Some light dents and scratches to the chape piece, these creating a few tiny spots of brighter brass. None of these interfere with sheathing and drawing the blade.

AMERICAN SECRET SOCIETY SWORD. Late 19th century. Gilt hilt with bow tie form guard and plumed helmet form pommel retaining considerable original gold. Silvered white metal (probably zinc) grip. 23 1/2" blade. Completely unmarked suggesting a clandestine organization. While many secret societies promoted the welfare of their members and society in general, the binding element for some was a common hatred for another group. As well, the post-Civil War years saw a growing militancy among labor groups. Numerous violent encounters including armed conflicts and lynchings resulted in both cases. This sword evidently served one such group.

British 1903 Pattern Bayonet, Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders and Denbighshire Hussars. Description Spear pointed unfullered blade, wood scale grips secured with two screws. Steel beaked pommel with locking button and clearance hole, steel hilt with short quillon and muzzle ring. Brown leather Land Mk II pattern scabbard with steel throat and leather chape. The blade is stamped on one side of the ricasso with a crowned &#acute;E.R.&#acute;, and 1903 (the pattern), a production date of 1 &#acute;01, meaning January 1901, three crown inspection marks with &#acute;E&#acute; for Enfield and reissue stamps &#acute;06, &#acute;07 and &#acute;08. On the other side it is stamped with an &#acute;X&#acute; which indicates that the blade passed a manufacturer&#acute;s bending test, and what looks like a second &#acute;X&#acute; mark below it. The belly of the blade is stamped with &#acute;7&#acute;. The pommel is stamped with &#acute;4&#acute; over &#acute;A.&.S.H.&#acute; over &#acute;150&#acute;. This indicates that this was bayonet number 150 used by the 4th Battalion, The Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders. This has been cancelled with strikethroughs. The exposed tang is stamped with &#acute;T&#acute;. The wood grips are stamped on one side with another unit mark of &#acute;DHY&#acute; over &#acute;300&#acute;, indicating the Denbighshire Hussars Yeomanry. The base of the pommel is stamped &#acute;EFD&#acute; indicating manufacture at the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield. The throat piece of the scabbard is stamped at the mouth with &#acute;463&#acute;. The leather of the scabbard is stamped next to the seam with another broad arrow, two crown inspection stamps for Enfield and the manufacture date &#acute;02. The manufacture date predating 1903 indicates that this is one of the 1903 bayonets produced at Enfield by converting previous patterns which used the same blade, in this case the 1888 Mk II bayonet. Its original maker&#acute;s mark has been removed due to refinishing and remarking of the blade in this process, while part of the original bending test &#acute;X&#acute; mark can still be seen next to the new one. Its Mk II Land Pattern scabbard, originally for the 1881 Pattern bayonet, could also be reused as it was fully compatible with the 1903 Pattern. The two unit marks on this example show its service history “ initially issued to the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders it was later passed on to the Denbighshire Hussars Yeomanry. Older models of equipment were often passed on after they were replaced, usually handed down from regular units to support or volunteer units. The 1903 Pattern bayonet had quite a short service life with the SMLE rifle: it was judged to be too short compared to other armies&#acute; bayonets which would be a disadvantage in bayonet combat, so the 1907 Pattern was designed and produced in much larger quantities to replace it. As a regular infantry unit the Argylls were probably issued with the 1907 Pattern quickly so their 1903s would have been surplus and in good condition, while the Denbighshires were at that time a mounted infantry unit that might well have preferred the shorter, lighter 1903 pattern for their SMLEs. The blade is bright with patches of cleaned pitting at the forte and near the tip, and polishing marks overall with no edge damage. The ricasso of the blade retains its original band of bluing, slightly rubbed. The hilt, exposed tang and pommel also have a blued finish, with some wear revealing lightly patinated steel. The scabbard throat piece is likewise blued bright with spots of patination. The wood grips have light handling wear, a few small dents and areas of staining. The scabbard leather has some dents and rubbing wear, all of its stitching is intact. The chape end of the scabbard is slightly kinked (common on this type), but this does not interfere with sheathing and drawing.

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.

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.
