An early example of a Nepalese 19th Century Gurkha Kukri.  The earlier blades tend to be slimmer and longer than the later, more wider kukris that you find in the 20th Century.  This is not a tourist kukri which is the type of kukri that tends to be most prevalent in the market nowadays.  This kukri was made for use and not just decoration.

Hardwood grip and brass inlay to the blade

There is some decorative brass inlay to the blade forte that lifts the overall quality of the kukri as many examples have a simple, plain blade.  With carved hardwood grip inset with white metal discs.  No scabbard.  In good overall condition with some commensurate age wear to the grip..  Blade length is 14 inches (18.5 inches overall).

British WW2 Royal Navy 1943 Minesweeper Ship’s Bell and Plaque

A super rare WW1 Polish Legion Adrian helmet

This helmet was worn by volunteers in the Polish Free Army who volunteered to fight on the side of the allies on the Western Front.  They were known by various names – The Haller Army, the Blue Army and also the Polish Legion in France. This Blue Army (they wore horizon blue French uniforms) was the Polish contribution to the forces on the western front in WWI. They initially trained and fought under French command and and by the end of WW1 they were officially recognized as the independent Polish Army.  Their leader was General Jozef Haller who was the former leader of the 2nd Polish Legion under the Austrians-Hungarians. .

Condition of the helmet

This helmet displays the original blue paint finish – now with rusting in places.  Retains its original Polish crowned eagle badge.  It comes with a brown leather liner which is now detached – have not attempted to re-attach it and cannot guarantee that it is the original one so buyer will have to make their own mind up and it is sold as is.  The chinstrap certainly looks to be original though. This is a very rare helmet and rarely seen in the market.

British Victorian 1845 Pattern Naval Officer’s Sword

This is a very unusual sword as the hilt style is of British Army regulation pattern, as is the blade. but the blade is etched with a fouled anchor.  It is obviously for carrying by a “naval” officer and it is likely that this was for an officer of the Royal Dockyard Battalion (who protected British military coastal ports and installations) or it could be for an officer in the Royal Marines.  Either way, it is a seldom encountered piece.  The hilt and blade is of standard 1845 type and consists of a gilt brass Gothic hilt and grip wrapped in fishskin and bound with brass twistwire.  The blade is decorated with a fouled anchor and crown, VR cypher and scrolling foliage.  Retailer marked to the blade forte – John Adams and Son, opposite Royal Hotel, Devonport.  Complete with leather and plated steel mounted scabbard.

Condition of the Sword

In very good condition overall – nice clean blade.

Specifications of the Sword

Blade length is 31 inches (37 inches overall).

Irish Army Model 1927 Vickers Military Helmet

This is a scarce and rarely encountered 1920’s Irish Army military helmet.  The helmet is based on the WW1 German military helmet but was actually made in Northern Ireland by the British firm of Vickers.  They were of rather poor construction when compared to the German helmets and suffered from a much thinner gauge of metal.  Because of this most existing helmets are dented in some way.  They were originally painted olive green but repainted white for civil defence use during WW2.  This is the finish that remains on this helmet.  Most of these helmets were destroyed in the 1970’s when they were used as hard core during the construction of an Irish Army barracks.  Complete with its original liner.  Am currently selling another similar example.

Condition of the Helmet

In worn condition – looks to have been in storage for a long time.
