Fine 1798 Pattern Scottish Highland Infantry Officers’ Sword with Original Scabbard. A fine example of the distinctive basket hilted sword introduced for Scottish Infantry officers in Highland Regiments in 1798. It was replaced by the regulation steel basket hilt 1828 pattern three decades later. The sword type was used throughout the Napoleonic War period. This sword is in fine original uncleaned condition and retains its scabbard. The bronze hilt and scabbard mounts were once covered with a gilt finish much of which has now worn away or is hidden under the patina. An inscription on the knucklebow reads “UNION LODGE NO 555 Carlisle”. It would seem that at some time the sword was gifted to the Masonic Lodge in Carlisle. Carlisle is an English town near the Scottish border. The hilts of these swords were most usually made of gilt copper, bronze or brass. The hilt of this sword is of gilt bronze and made of rounded bars and flattened plates in the usual manner with forward loop guards and a swollen solid wrist guard terminal extending from the rear quillon. The upper terminals of the guard arms are fixed onto a ring inside which the stem of the mushroom shaped pommel is fitted. The pommel is dome-shaped with a large separate waisted pommel button on top from which four sets of decorative grooves flanked by narrower lines radiate to the pommel edge. The double-edged gently tapering blade is 32.75 inches (83 cm) long and in fine condition. Typically it is of lenticular section with a short ricasso. A central fuller commences a short distance from the hilt on each side and is 9 inches (23 cm) long. The blade is unmarked and probably a German import which was the norm for this sword type and most probably of Solingen manufacture. The grip is of spirally grooved wood covered with shagreen held in place with thin ropes of twisted copper wire flanked with plainer thinner wire now coloured with age. It is mounted with gilt bronze ferrules top and bottom which are incised with decorative lines. The scabbard is in fine condition made with a wooden core covered with granulated leather stitched along the middle on one side. The mouthpiece and middle band retain their ring carrying mounts. The chape has a knopped terminal. For other examples of the 1798 type see: Harvey J S Withers, “The Scottish Sword 1600-1945”, Paladin Press, 2009, pages 13 to 151 and Cyril Mazansky, “British Basket-Hilted Swords”, Boydell Press, 2005, pages 131 to 133.

Mid-18th Century British Dragoon Basket Hilted Sword. An impressive example of a horseman's basket hilted back sword made for an Officer, or Trooper, of a North British / Scottish Regiment of Dragoons towards the middle and third quarter of the 18th century. These swords were issued by the Board of Ordnance to British regiments and were manufactured in the Scottish manner. They were first issued in the second quarter of the 18th century and were used during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, Britain’s wars in Europe and the American Revolutionary War. The sword is a rare example of one that retains its remarkable full length blade of 38 inches (just over 96 cm) designed mainly for striking downwards at opposing infantry soldiers with greater reach than the more usual blade lengths of the time could afford. Although many swords of this type are mounted with blades of shorter length, the majority of those that were originally made with this longest type were cut down during the working lives of the swords. This is a rare survivor with its metal parts in extremely well preserved and undamaged condition as visible in the photographs. The fully formed basket is pierced with flanged hearts and circles in the main front and side panel guards which are also finely fretted at the edges with chevrons and merlons. One of the more usual frontal guard plates has been replaced in the hilt design with an oval ring in the “horseman” fashion. The arms of the guard are forged onto a circle of iron into which the base of the bun shaped pommel sits. The pronounced button is integral with the pommel and not of separate manufacture. The original spirally fluted grip is of hardwood and has its shagreen cover but retains its wire binding. The robust single-edged blade has a thick spine and is double edged for the last 17.5 inches (44.25 cm) towards the point. It has a short ricasso and two fullers which commence 4.25 inches from the hilt. One wide broad fuller runs down the middle of the blade to the point and a second narrower fuller runs just underneath the spine to where the blade becomes double edged. Overall the sword is in fine and original condition. For a further example of this sword type see Cyril Mazansky, British Basket-Hilted Swords, Boydell Press / Royal Armouries, 2005, plate F1e page 97 for a sword in the National Museums of Scotland, collection reference LA33.

AN EXTREMELY RARE SCOTTISH PLUG BAYONET C.1690. This example, with 9" blade, belongs to a group of daggers with similar blades and guards, decorated in silver as is this one, many of which bear Jacobite mottos. They have spatulate profile reeded bog oak grips. A very few, as this one are mounted as plug bayonets. The hilt is darkly grained bog oak with a silver ferrule and silver flower head disk at the top. The Jacobite Rebellion came at a time when the plug bayonet had reached its greatest popularity and this is the Scottish separatists rendition. Provenance: J. F. R. Winsbury Collection

AN ENGLISH CUP-HILTED RAPIER C.1640-50. This rapier, while a true cup-hilt, is influenced by the style known as dish-hilted rapiers which lasted about two decades in the midcentury. The iron hilt is decorated in large scale foliage. Unlike dish-hilted rapiers, the cup is sufficiently deep to allow for a grip with the first finger ahead of the cross guard as was the technique with swept hilted rapiers. The large pommel provided a counter balance for effective control when so gripped. The blade, made to conform to English law dictating a maximum of 26”, is pierced at the forte. It dates to the period of the English Civil Wars and could have served on horseback as effectively as on foot.

RARE EXPERIMENTAL US M.1860 CUTLASS. Unmarked but obviously produced by Ames as the tooling specifically compares to production examples made for Civil War use which are encountered both marked (usually with 1862 date) and unmarked. The pattern was adopted in two variations for officer and seaman. The officer's pattern (Peterson #140) varied from the seaman's with scrolling foliage on the pommel. As well, the semi bowl guard was fluted cut out (pierced) with U S N. This example is fluted, but not pierced and the pommel is plain, without the floral scroll as adopted.  The grip and scabbard conforming to the adopted pattern. The distinctive features are the guard, absolutely identical to officer's swords but not pierced with the universal U S N. The key is the tooling: The guard accords in detail and dimensions with the production examples, indicating that the dies had been produced at the time when this sample was submitted. The other distinguishing feature is that the blade is unmarked, indicating that it was a prototype. In our collection for 40 years, it has been shown to those who need to see it with no constructive result, verifying its one of a kind identity. Clearly made by Ames, it represents the step before approval for production of the 1862 cutlass, possibly contending for approval as either the enlisted man's or officer's pattern. That dated Ames cutlass' are dated 1862 and the Civil War broke out in April 1861 after 7 states declared their succession in February 1861 indicates that an immediate call for securing the coasts, the source of supply for the South, was made.  The 1841 cutlass was Old School based on the Napoleonic/post-Napoleonic model of heavy blade suitable for whacking as a last resort. The 1860 cutlass was a cut (marginally) and thrust weapon and notably the only swords, other than cavalry, which were primary weapons. The dependence by the South on imports by sea foretold the need for extensive naval action to choke off the supply necessitating maximizing naval resources including adopting an improved cutlass.

EUROPEAN SMALLSWORD C.1750. Perhaps Flemish, this sword bears the name of the seller, Bressard, of Rue du Madeline, Brussels, at the forte. Above, an angle with flag and impaled coronet indicating the nobility of its owner. The iron hilt is beautifully enriched with high relief figures of military arms, musical instruments flags, foliage and the globe, on a rich gold ground. The elements have symbolic meaning, some, such as the globe, obvious, and others more specific to its time and circumstances. Originally, many swords were finely crafted and richly decorated like this, however, examples retaining their original beauty and detail are quite scarce. 31 7/8" length blade.

Rare British Infantry Basket Hilted Sword with ANDRIA FARARA marked blade circa 1735 to 1765. A fine British “three-quarter” basket hilted sword made for British infantry soldiers of the line in the mid 18th century. The sword is mounted with a fine quality tapering, double edged, Solingen-made, broad sword blade. The hilt is formed in the traditional manner for the half of the guard that protects the outside of the hand of a right handed user. In this respect a vertical  oblong shaped guard plate is fitted between the flattened knuckle bow and the side guard bar. Then a similar flattened bar with merlons at the base is fitted between the side guard bar and the rear guard bar. On the other side, the usual side guard bar takes the same form as the knucklebow, and the space between these two flattened bars is occupied by a single, stretched, “S” shaped bar. There is no further protection for the hand on this side of the hilt. Clearly this design of hilt, unique in our experience, assumes that the inside hand of the user can be more economically protected with fewer bars than on the outside which is a deviation from the more usual basket hilt forms of the time.  The downward curled wrist guard which extends from the cross guard at the rear and the forward loop guards which appear on more usual basket hilt designs are present. The pommel is of bun shaped type typical of British military swords of the mid 18th century. It has a multi-faceted button of separate manufacture from which fluted ridges radiate towards the mid line of the pommel. This elaborate feature is hand crafted and a quality embellishment in advance of the usual plain surfaces usually encountered with this pommel type. The original grip is made of hardwood covered with leather. It is spirally grooved bound with twisted brass wire flanked with narrower wire either side. Iron ferrules are applied top and bottom of the grip. The hilt retains its original red woollen fringe and stitched leather liner covered with red velvet on the outside and the remains of its stitched blue silken hem. The double edged blade tapers to its tip and has a short ricasso. A double fuller extends for 9 inches from the hilt after which an elaborate cruciform shape is incised into the blade on each side. Each fuller is stamped with “ANDRIA FARARA” each side with the words separated and flanked by pairs of “X” marks. The blade is almost certainly of German manufacture from one the the main European blade making centres such as Solingen. The slimmed down hilt design was a new innovation for the time deemed appropriate for infantry use. This measure is not a cost saving consideration in the manufacturing process, because the sword is a high quality although plain weapon, made up of sturdy, thick, well worked bars to the hilt, and mounted with a fine blade. The remarkable painting in the Royal Collection attributed to David Morier (1705? to 1770) entitled “An Incident in the Rebellion of 1745”, painted circa 1753, shows British line infantry repulsing a charge by Highlanders. The depiction of the weapons is deemed important by historians, because Morier is thought to have used actual combatants that took part in the battle as models with the weapons used. Of significance here are the swords carried by the British line infantry soldiers. These are basket hilted swords with typical bun pommels mounted with guards of three quarter size, similar to our sword, although the arrangement of the bars is slightly different. This may be due to artistic convenience / negligence on the part of Morier, or more likely, is indicative of slight variations in the way colonels often commissioned weapons manufacture for their individual regiments. See:  https://www.rct.uk/collection/401243/an-incident-in-the-rebellion-of-1745 Measurements: The blade is 31.75 inches (80.5 cm) long and overall the sword is 38.25 inches long (97 cm). The ricasso is .75 of an inch long (2 cm). The fullers are 9 inches long (23 cm).

French Pattern 1679 Cuirassiers Sword, Rare. Ref X3612. A Rare French Pattern 1679 Cuirassier´s Sword. 42&157; overall, 36&157; broadsword blade, with faint Passau Wolf mark close to the Walloon type hilt composed of a pierced heart shaped guard with down turned quillon, a half basket hilt of rounded waisted bars linked to one side with a diagonal and to the other with a scrolling support, the latter linking to the broad thumb ring, the whole secured to the spherical pommel with screws, faceted and fluted original wire bound grip with Turk’s heads.&194;&160; Circa1680 In very good condition This is probably an example of the 1679 Pattern sword described in the French Ordnance records. This sword was discovered with an identical example in Western Scotland. It has been hypothesised that these originated from Fitzjames’s Horse during the Jacobite rising of 1745 The Fitzjames regiment of Irish Horse was formed in France in 1698. It fought at Fontenoy and in the following year was sent to Scotland to serve with the army of Charles Stuart, the Young Pretender. Three troops landed at Aberdeen in February 1746 to an enthusiastic welcome. The squadron fought at Culloden, Captain Shee’s troop providing the escort for Prince Charles. Following the battle, and having escorted the Prince from the field, Shee’s troop was dismissed with orders to surrender to the Duke of Cumberland. Following the defeat of the French at the Battle of Wilhelmsthal the regiment was disbanded on 21 December 1762. For a full account of the regiment see Russell V. Steele, ’Fitzjames’s Regiment Of Horse Of The Irish Brigade In The French Service’ &194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160;&194;&160; Images courtesy of West Street Antiques (https://antiquearmsandarmour.com/)

British 1796 Light Cavalry Sword – Sir John Moore. British 1796 Light Cavalry Sword possibly belonging to Sir John Moore KB The sword is in very good condition and has at some point been refurbished please note small area of the fish skin covered grip is missing. The blade curved and pipe backed being double edged for the last 7 inches forming a spear point. The blade is acid etched with a presentation within a panel which reads WORN BY LIEUTENANT – GENERAL SIR JOHN MOORE K.B WHEN HE WAS SLAIN BY A CANNON BALL AT THE BATTLE OF CORUNNA ON THE 16TH OF JANUARY 1809 – Now there is no way to confirm the inscription although some research was untaken by the previous owner there is no concrete proof. Reference is made to an article written by Geoff Worrall for the Antique Arms; Militaria magazine in August 1981 in which he does detail a similar sword to Lt COLONEL WILLIAM TOMKINSON 1809 – 15 and indicating the sword may have been etched as a family trophy, copy of the article is included. It is complete with matching scabbard with 2 loose rings and age wear. Please note the sword is being sold with no guarantee that the inscription is original however regardless it is a very fine example of a 1796 light cavalry officer&#acute;s sword.
