A good example of a Javanese 1900’s Kris Dagger and Scabbard.  Comes complete with a fine, hand decorated brass scabbard and polished hardwood mounts.  In good overall condition for its age.  The distinctive wavy blade (indicative of Kris’s) has been produced with typical forged layering and the carved hardwood grip is particularly intricate with designs of foliage and abstract shapes.  This is an indicator of good quality and the kris is showing definite age and so I would date this example from the early-mid 20th Century.

Blade layering

The production of a kris blade includes a process of layering and forging that would have added considerable extra strength to the blade.  It is a process of blade making that has been undertaken for many centuries throughout the world and I many cultures, from the Vikings through to the Japanese Samurai sword makers.  Blade length is 13.5 inches (17 inches overall).  This would make a fine addition to a collection of antique kris daggers and displays particularly well.

A rare British 19th Century Orkney Artillery Volunteers Officer’s Sword

This sword was carried by an officer in the Orkney Artillery Volunteers during the 19th Century – probably c.1860’s.  This far flung string of Scottish islands (around 10 miles north of Caithness) probably had quite a small military contingent so this sword must be pretty rare.  The sword has a typical artillery pattern three-bar hilt with fishskin and brass twiswire to the grip.  The blade is etched with a regimental designation, including “Orkney Artillery Volunteers” and “Staff 1st Administrative Brigade”, artillery cannon, royal crown and cypher and scrolling foliage.

Condition of the Sword

In fair condition – wear to hilt and blade – some edge nicks.  Scabbard is has nickel-plated mounts – probably associated although a good fit with no movement.

Specifications of the Sword

Blade length is 31.75 inches (38 inches overall).

A highly unusual and unique British 1897 Pattern Army Sword with earlier Cavalry Blade – Wilkinson

An unusual and scarce US Civil War Horstmann Model 1821 Infantry Officer’s Sword.  This is a scarce US Civil War infantry officer’s sword and is based on the French Model 1821 Infantry Officer’s Sword but is fitted with a US Horstmann and Sons blade.  Hilt has simply crafted decoration – am supposing that this is a Horstmann copy of the contemporary French infantry officer’s model as it does not seem as crisp as the French imports and is also probably pre-Civil War.
