Rare Scottish Highland Military Officers’ Basket Hilted Sword dating to circa 1750-1760. A fine Scottish Basket Hilted Sword made for an officer in a Highland Infantry Regiment in the middle of the 18th century. The sword is very much an “attic find” in untouched original and uncleaned condition. The sword is of higher quality than those produced for enlisted men. It was probably made in Glasgow or Stirling which were the two main centres producing swords in Scotland at this time. This is a rare sword in that one of the side guard plates is formed as a thistle inside a garland with a closed crown above. We are aware of only one other example of this sword type which is in the J D Forman Collection and is illustrated in Cyril Mazansky, “British Basket-Hilted Swords”, 2005, The Boydell Press, page 136, fig G1, The sword dates to the early period of the Highland Regiments and may have been used in North America in the French and Indian War (1754 to 1763) and in the American Revolutionary War (1775 to 1783) in which Highland regiments were engaged . The sword hilt is a robust example formed from well forged and nicely rounded structural bars. The two frontal guard plates are finely pierced with flanged hearts at the sides and circles in the corners and in the middle, within a border created by incised fluted lines just inside the edges of the plates. The knuckle bow and one side guard are also incised with vertical flutes and pierced with flanged hearts and circles. The pommel is cone shaped with an integral button on top. It is engraved with chevrons of fluted lines similar to those cut into the guard panels. The tops of the three arms of the guard are forged onto a ring into which the neck of the pommel sits. The grip is made of spirally grooved wood mounted with a covering of shagreen and bound with silver riband and mounted with iron bands top and bottom. The hilt retains its original full leather liner with the remains of red cloth stitched to the front and a blue silken hem. The double edged tapering blade is 31.5 inches (80 cm) long. It has a pronounced ricasso from the end of which two fullers run along the middle of the blade and terminate 6 inches (15 cm) from the tip. The bladesmith’s mark of ANDRIA FARARA is cut into the fullers near the hilt indicating that the blade is an import into the UK from one of the European blade making centres such as Solingen. The overall length of the sword is 37.75 inches (96 cm). Overall the iron and steel parts are in good condition with mottled patination as can be seen in the photographs below.

English “Mortuary” hilted sword dating to the middle part of the 17th century. A fine English “Mortuary” hilted sword dating to the middle part of the 17th century and the English Civil War, Commonwealth and Protectorate periods. The hilt of this sword is of typical form consisting of a broad saucer-shaped guard plate from which three main curved flattened guard bars taper upwards ending with flattened angled terminals screwed into the pommel. The sword is notable because of its robust build, fine condition and the higher than average quality of the chiselled decoration. The convex surface of the guard plate is covered with the finely executed busts of eight men, four located either side of the blade. Two, opposite each other, are wigged figures, probably judges. The others have a more grotesque appearance. The remaining spaces are filled with panels of delicate foliage and fine swirling tendrils. The pommel is decorated in the same foliate style. Two downward facing bars emanate from each side of the knuckle bow towards its middle and join the base of each side guard bar to add strength to the structure. The base of each side guard bar is strengthened with a fishtail or merlon terminal which joins the bars to the dish. The downwardly curled ribbed wrist guard strengthens the rear edge of the plate. The guard bars are decorated with chiselled lines. The pommel is globular in shape and has an integral button on top and a pronounced flared neck beneath. The grip is wrapped with a leather binding which covers the original grip covering of surface mounted wire. The base sits on an iron flanged plug mounted onto the inside of the guard plate from which two langets extend through the tang aperture to flank the blade either side for a short distance below the hilt. The single-edged blade has a pronounced fullered ricasso. A broad shallow fuller runs from the hilt underneath the blunt spine of the blade and terminates a short distance from the tip after which the blade is double edged. A second shorter fuller of similar width opposite the first runs each side for the length of the ricasso after which the main cutting edge of the blade begins. An unknown Blade Maker's stamp is applied on each side within the fuller as is an orb and cross mark a short distance away. The blade was probably made in Solingen in Germany. Huge numbers of blades were imported into Britain during the Civil War period to fulfil demand for swords on both Royalist and Parliamentarian sides. The blade is 33.75 inches long (86 cm) and overall the sword measures 40 inches (101.5 cm) long. Stuart C Mowbray in “British Military Swords”, Mowbray Publishing, 2013, dedicates a section to Mortuary Swords in pages 178 to 225, as does Cyril Mazansky, in “British Basket Hilted Swords”, Boydell Press 2005, Chapter 11, pages 233 to 280. The similarities between the engraved patterns on the hilts of the swords illustrated in these books and our sword, although they are all somewhat different, shows that the quality of chiselling and engraving present on our sword is of superior quality compared to most other than those known to have been commissioned for nobility of one form or another. This sword is of a style which does not adopt the secondary rear guard bars which appear on some mortuary swords which extend downwards from the side guard bars to fix on the guard plate nearer to the wrist guard edge. The robust and broad expanse of the guard of this sword dispenses with the need as can be seen in the examples present in Mowbray and Mazansky.

Creary” in 1864 at Brooklyn, New York she was acquired by the Union Navy on 30 May, 1864 and simultaneously renamed “Wilderness”. She fitted out at the New York Navy Yard and was commissioned on 20, July 1864, being immediately assigned to the 2nd Division of the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron. After serving briefly at Hampton Roads and the James River she was sent to the North Carolina coast where she was fitted with four 24-pounders in October, 1864. She went into action almost immediately and on the night of 31 October while patrolling off New Inlet, North Carolina, pursued and captured the British blockade runner “Annie”. In December she participated in the attacks on Ft. Fisher where she assisted in the failed attempt to breach the fort by towing the sidewheel steamer “Louisiana” filled with explosives near the fort's walls. The ship exploded as planned but had little effect. On January 13, 1865 “Wilderness” brought troops to within 500 yards of the shore where they were loaded on boats for the final assault on Ft. Fisher. She was decommissioned on 10 June 1865 and transferred to the Treasury Department and served as a revenue cutter in the Gulf of Mexico. In 1873 she was renamed “John A. Dix” and was eventually sold in 1891.
