Terrific and impressive Ottoman Turkish C.1890’s Senior Infantry Officer’s Sword

This sword is one of the best examples of an Ottoman Turkish army officer’s sword that I have encountered in a long time.  It is of very large proportions and similar in style to Imperial German military officers’ swords of the period and it is likely that it was made in Germany.  There letters A and C are to be found under the blade near the forte and these might represent the sword making company, Alex Coppel.  The lionshead hilt is very detailed and includes two ruby glass eyes to the pommel.  The grip is bound in fishskin.  The blade is extensively decorated and includes Turkish crescent and moon, war trophies, stands of arms and foliage. It comes complete with a heavy steel scabbard.  This is a most impressive sword in the hand and would have been carried by a very senior officer, probably of General rank.

Condition of the Sword

In good overall condition – a little wear to the grip and scabbard – blade is clean.

Specifications of the Sword

Blade length is 32.5 inches (39 inches overall).

A scarce British Napoleonic Royal Navy Officer’s Sword

A c.1800’s naval sword carried by an officer in the British Royal Navy.  What makes this sword interesting is that it carries the owner’s initials on the hilt langet – very few swords of this period are onwr marked.  The hilt is of stirrup type and the grip is wrapped with fishskin and copper twistwire.  The blade is straight and decorated with nautical motifs, including anchor and bouys.  It is also has a royal crown and cypher.  No scabbard.  Although the condition of the blade counts against the sword, it is still very rare to find examples of British Napoleonic naval officers’s swords.

Condition of the Sword

Grip with some fishskin losses.  The blade is corroded in places, particularly towards the tip.

Specifications of the Sword

Blade length is 29 inches (34 inches overall).

A very good example of a British 1822 Pattern Infantry Officer’s Sword and Scabbard

This is quite an unsual sword and comprises a typical gilt brass Gothic hilt with VR (Queen Victoria) and grip bound with fishskin and silver twistwire.  The blade is of pipe back form and features some excellent etching that includes the royal cypher of King George IV (1820-1830).  The owner of this sword was no doubt a serving officer when the new monarch (Victoria) came to the throne in 1837 and decided to keep the blade (through the reign of King William IV aswell) but change the hilt – this was common practice and common sense, especially if the sword blade was of high quality as is this example.  The sword was manufactured by the famous London sword maker, Prosser and is maker marked to the blade forte.  The sword comes complete with its original brass scabbard.

Condition of the Sword

In good overall condition – the blade is very clean and crisp.

Specifications of the Sword

Blade length is 34.5 inches (39.5 inches overall).

Original example of a British early 19th Century Military Bandsman’s Sword.  A British Army military bandsman’s sword from the early 1800’s.  Comprises a brass lionshead hilt and ribbed grip.  The blade is plain.  No scabbard.  There are many different variants of the British military bandsman’s sword and it appears that regiments were given some leeway as to design and decoration.

Unusual British bandsman’s sword type

This tended to fade after 1856 when a standard pattern was introduced.  This is a sword type not seen too often. I was lucky enough to acquire two examples of this sword so please see the other listings.  In good overall condition with some wear to the blade – small age fracture to grip.  Blade length is 22.5 inches (28 inches overall).

A fine British C.1800’s Military Bandsman’s Lionshead Sword.  An unusual example of an early 19th Century British Army military bandsman’s sword.  With cast brass hilt comprising a distinctive lionshead pommel and ribbed grip.  The blade is plain apart from some very faint engraving that looks to be indicating manufacture by the Wilkinson company.  This must be a very early piece from this company as this style of bandsman’s sword was prevalent during the late-Georgian and early Victorian period.

Sword stamped to top of the crossguard

The sword is stamped to the top of the crossguard.  No scabbard.  In good overall condition with age darkening to the blade.  Blade length is 22.5 inches (28 inches overall).
