A rare British 1856 Pattern Unmarked Yataghan Sword Bayonet

These British and German made sword bayonets were made for the British Model 1853 Enfield Rifle and were carried by British volunteer units and also exported in quantities to both sides in the American Civil War.  This is a typical export example as it is unmarked and with no military issue stamps to the blade.  The only marking to the bayonet is the number 19 on top of the pommel.  Chequered leather grips still quite crisp.  The bayonet also comes complete with its original and rarely found leather sword frog.

Condition of the Bayonet

In good overall condition with a clean blade and dark age patina to the metal fittings.

Specifications of the Bayonet

Blade length is 23 inches (28 inches overall).

An original and scarce named British 19th Century Newcastle Artillery Volunteers Officer’s Sword

This sword was carried by an officer in the 1st Battalion of the Newcastle Volunteer Artillery regiment.  This regiment was raised in mid-19th Century and although there is little information around, it is thought that they manned coastal artillery pieces.  This sword is actually named on the blade to “Cuthbert J Love” or Lovett – would be worth some further research.  All I can find on the web is this.  Is regimentally named to the blade and there are also motifs of a cannon, lightning bolts, royal crown and cypher.

Condition of the Sword

Blade with some age wear.

Specifications of the Sword

Blade length is 32 inches (38 inches overall).

A superb and decorative French C.1900 Senior Naval Officer’s Dress Sword

This is a rarely found example of a very senior (admiral grade) French naval officer’s dress sword.  It is based on the Model 1837 French naval officer’s sword but differs in that both the hilt and scabbard are highly decorated with gilt brass motifs.  The ribbed grip is made from horn and the hilt also retains its original dress sword knot.  The blade is plain and with a nickel plated finish. Is maker marked near the blade forte.  The sword comes complete with a fantastic leather and gilt brass scabbard.  Probably a unique piece.

Condition of the Sword

In good overall condition – scabbard leather worn/restored in places – some wear to blade.

Specifications of the Sword

Blade length is 26.5 inches (32 inches overall).

A rare C.1800’s Scottish Highland Fleshing Knife.  These distinctive knives were used to remove the flesh from animals and were an important element in a hunter’s kit. It is probable that it would have been carried alongside a hunting sword or large dagger.   This example appears to have great age and was purchased at auction in the Scottish Highlands and is more than likely to come from that region.

With marine ivory grip and leaf-shaped blade

The knife comprises a chequered marine ivory grip and leaf-shaped blade.  In worn, used condition as it should be – they had a hard working life.  Blade length is 3 inches (6.5 inches overall).
