English/European 14th Century Infantry Archer’s Short Sword Dagger

medieval-sword-2

A terrifically rare and original English/European 14th Century Infantry Archer’s Short Sword Dagger.  This sword was excavated in Belgium some years ago and is of a type that would have been carried by an ordinary infantry soldier or archer in the field.  It could be either described as a short sword or a very large dagger but would have been the owner’s last line of defence. Typically, archers carried this type of weapon and would have used it in defence once they had used all their arrows.  It is of very simple form as would be expected and comprises a rounded pommel pommel and crossguard finial.  To the other side is an upwardly curving “hook” that fits perfectly around the finger and would have steadied the hand.  The grip would have been bound in wood, overlaid with strips of leather.  Condition is very good and there has been no breakages – in stabilised condition.

Most Medieval swords now in museums

This is a very rare and unusual piece and very few weapons from the Medieval period have survived and most now reside in museums.  Blade length is 15 inches (20.5 inches overall).

17th Century Military Officer’s Cavalry Broadsword

17th-century-sword-rapier-2

An excellent and unusual 17th Century Military Officer’s Cavalry Broadsword.  Most likely carried by an officer and with a very substantial multi-fullered blade.  Deeply stamped to both blade fortes and with traces of original impressed lettering to the top of the blade.  The hilt is quite unusual and features a pierced guard that is reminiscent in style to contemporary Spanish main-gauche daggers – it is possible that this sword had an accompanying main-gauche dagger and the hilt of the broadsword imitated the design.  With wide, hand-wrought crossguard and finials.  These matching swords and daggers were very common during this period.  The use of a fleur-de-lys design might indicate a French connection but could just be a decorative style.  The grip is bound with steel twistwire and turks-heads.

Condition of the sword is excellent

The pommel is quite substantial and would have given this large sword good balance.  The blade is well made with good flexibility – always a sign of quality.  Condition is very good for its great age – no problems that I can see.  Blade length is 38 inches (44 inches overall).

English C.1690’s Dog-Head Naval Cutlass

english-dutch-17th-century-cutlass-2

An extremely rare English C.1690’s Dog-Head Naval Cutlass.  These swords are likely to be of a style of “brass hilted hangers” that were ordered in 1692 by the British Board of Ordnance and were produced for issue to sailors or “matrosses”.  There is also a contemporary reference to these swords as being “dog headed hangers for matrosses”.  The hilt style is thought to have been influenced by contemporary Sinhalese (Sri-Lankan) swords and were carried by sailors in the service of the Dutch East India Company.  It is thought that the styles were then copied by English and German sword makers and sold on to the British Board of Ordnance.  This example is a more elaborate version of those normally encountered and comprises a brass, two-bar bilobate hilt with an elaborately decorated cast brass grip and pommel.  The shell guard has a monster head to the underside.  The blade is stamped to both sides with a maker’s name but it is difficult to make out.  The blade is single-fullered, double-edged and slightly swollen near the point.

Earliest example of English naval cutlass

Condition is excellent for its great age with only a narrow gap in the blade towards the end where it has worn away.  This is probably the earliest known officially sanctioned English naval cutlass and consequently super rare – very few ever come on the market.  This type of cutlass is featured both in my book – The Sword in Britain 1600-1700 and Boarders Away by Gilkerson – see pics below.  Blade length is 29 inches (34 inches overall).

British C.1900’s / WW1 Army Officer’s Campaign Cutlery

british-army-campaign-cutlery-1

An excellent set of British c.1900’s / WW1 British Army Officer’s campaign cutlery.  Of top quality manufacture and with polished bone handles and electro-plated knife, fork and spoon.  The cutlery is deeply stamped with maker’s stamps to the spoon and knife.  These campaign cutlery sets were very popular during the Boer War and WW1 and would have been privately purchased by an officer and were an essential part of their military campaign kit.  There is a plated cartouche inset to each of the bone handles – officers usually added their initials but this example is unusually plain.

Full working order

All in full working order with the opening and shutting actions still sharp and crisp.  The average length of each piece is 7.5 inches.  An unusual and very personal addition for the collector of British military Boer War and WW1 collectables.  These military campaign cutlery sets are quite scarce now as many were broken up and lost over the years or used post-war until no longer serviceable and eventually discarded.

American C.1780 Naval Officer’s Fighting Dirk

american-naval-dirk-3

A complete and rarely encountered example of an American C.1780 Naval Officer’s Fighting Dirk.   This dirk probably dates from the time of the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) and is very typical in its design and style.  American naval dirks of the period are usually quite simple and workmanlike in their design and construction and this appears to follow that style.  The hilt grip is made from a faceted and stained wood and topped with a rounded ivory pommel secured by an iron pommel button.  The hilt ferrule is also faceted to follow the pattern of the grip.

Plain blade and triangular in profile

The blade is plain and triangular in profile and almost stiletto in the way that it tapers to a wicked point.  Would have been a highly effective stabbing weapon.  It comes complete with a steel scabbard that has no decoration apart from a faceted ball-type chape.  Condition is excellent for its great age – end of the blade is a little bent but could probably be straightened without too much trouble – have not touched it.  Is a great piece for the collector of American Revolutionary War naval edged weapons.  Blade length is 11.5 inches (16 inches overall).

British Indian Army 19th Century Irregular Horse Trooper’s Sword

indian-irregular-horse-sword-2

A super rare British Indian Army 19th Century Irregular Horse Trooper’s Sword.  This is a truly unusual sword and of a type issued to irregular horse cavalry units serving in the British Indian Army during the mid-19th Century.  The construction of the sword hilt is very peculiar in that the grip is made from cast steel and made to represent a chequered grip.  The hilt is British in style and follows contemporary pierced scroll hilts of a type seen in infantry officer’s swords, most notably, the 1857 Pattern Scottish Field Officer’s Sword.

Hilt manufactured in Britain

I would guess that the hilts were manufactured in Britain, from where they were exported to India and mounted with local Indian tulwar blades.  There is a very interesting discussion about these swords hereThe irregular cavalry units that would probably have carried these swords included Probyn’s Horse, Wale’s Horse and the Punjab Cavalry.  Condition is good considering that it would have had a lot of use – with commensurate service wear- some losses to top of grip.  No scabbard – would probably have been of tulwar form.  Blade length is 29.5 inches (36 inches overall).

Austrian Napoleonic Cavalry Dragoon Officer’s Sword

austrian-napoleonic-cavalry-sword-3

An original and scarce Austrian Napoleonic Cavalry Dragoon Officer’s Sword.  This sword would originally have had a fold-out attack hilt but that has long gone but the sword is still an attractive and seldom seen piece.  The sword comprises a cut steel with scalloped edges to the knuckleguard, ferrule and slot hilt.  The grip retains all of its original leather and steel twistwire to the grip.  Blade is plain and single-fullered.

Complete with leather and brass mounted scabbard

The sword comes complete with a contemporary brass and leather mounted scabbard with frog button to the locket.  These swords would have been carried by light cavalry units and was used from the late-18th Century right through the Napoleonic Wars.  Austrian swords are not common in the market, particularly in Western Europe and the USA, which is quite strange considering the influence and size of the Austrian army during this period.  Condition is good with a fine dark age patina to the hilt.  Blade length is 30 inches (35 inches overall).

Prussian 1848 Experimental Naval Cutlass

prussian-naval-cutlass-2

free-shipping-1

A super rare Prussian 1848 Experimental Naval Cutlass of massive proportions.  This is the only example of a very distinctive naval sword that is likely to have been based on contemporary Prussian cavalry sword hilts of the period although the hilt appears to be of a larger size.  Is an extremely well made cutlass as would be expected of a Prussian military edged weapon.  Comprises an open basket hilt with very thick hilt bars and ribbed leather grip.

Hilt dated to 1848 and with royal cypher

The hilt is dated to 1848 and features the “FW” royal cypher for Emperor Frederick Wilhelm IV (reigned from 1840 – 1861).  The blade is very unusual and has a sawback edge to the top of the blade although it does not appear to be very sharp – wondering whether it would have been used to parry sword blows.  The blade is just under 2 inches at the forte and double-edged towards the end of the blade.  Blade length is 30 inches (36 inches overall).

The sword is of typical Arab form and comprises a decorated brass and horn(?) hilt and brass chain knuckleguard.  The blade has a heavy nickel-plated finish.  Condition is good – small crack at crossguard.  Comes complete with an embossed brass scabbard and braided tassels.  Length of the blade is 35 inches (39 inches overall).  PLEASE NOTE:  The presentation case is extremely heavy and I will have to charge appropriately for both domestic and international shipping.

19th Century African Tuareg Takouba Sword

takouba-sword-and-scabbard-3

A good quality 19th Century African Tuareg Takouba Sword complete with its original leather and brass mounted scabbard.  Most of these brass-hilted takoubas tend to date from the end of the 19th Century.  A very interesting website concerning the history and development of the takouba can be found here.  The Tuareg tribes are a nomadic Berber group found in the Saharan interior of North Africa, particularly Mali, Niger and Algeria.  Interestingly, the name Tuareg means “abandoned by God”, which refers to the fact that they were a pre-Islamic people.  The sword is of typical form, with incised decoration to the brass hilt and distinctive layered and domed pommel.

Hand forged blade

The blade is of local manufacture and hand forged.  The sword comes with a tooled leather and brass scabbard.  Condition of the sword is very good for its age – many of these swords are without their original scabbards because of their inherently fragile construction.  Blade length is 31.5 inches (38.5 inches overall).

Large British Sheffield J E Middleton Bowie Knife

middleton-and-sons-bowie-knife-2

A very large British Sheffield J E Middleton Bowie Knife.  Made in the 20th Century by the famous Sheffield blade-making family of Middleton and Sons.  They were known for their wide range of high quality bowie knives which are now much sought after.  The company is no longer in production.  This is a particularly large example with a horn grip and German silver decorative pommel, ferrule and hilt mounts.

Well tempered blade

The extremely well tempered blade is double-edged and has a distinctive spine that runs the full length of the blade.  It also has a great feeling of balance in the hand.
