A unique piece and unlikely to be encountered again.

Excellent condition and with a very clean blade – both scabbard and blade a good fit.

Rare and original English c.1750 Horseman’s Broadsword

A virtually identical example can be found in Swords and Blades of the American Revolution by Neumann, page 150.  Neumann states that this type of sword was know as an “Irish Hilt” as it was carried by English regiments in Ireland. Has a large cage hilt with leather wrap to the grip and a massive, double-edged, broadsword blade that is likely to be earlier, possibly 17th Century. It is faintly marked with stars and lettering within the fullers.  The massive blade of this sword would have meant that it was devastating when used as a slashing and cutting weapon, particularly on horseback and at speed.

Condition of the Broadsword

Condition is excellent for its age – blade is very clean indeed.

Specifications of the Sword

Blade length is 33 inches (39 inches overall). A terrific early English cavalry trooper’s sword that was meant for heavy combat in the field.

A very early example of a c.1700 Turkish Georgian Caucasian Yataghan Sword.  This is a particular eastern sword type and comprises a simple black horn grip and typical yataghan-styled flared ears to the pommel. The blade is heavily reinforced.  Decoration to the curved blade is complex and elaborate and includes inlaid brass roundels, flowers, jagged points, script and fantastical shapes.  This sword has a very fine balance and would have been very effective as a slashing combat weapon, especially whilst on horseback.  They were carried throughout Turkey and the Balkans and also in Russian Caucasia.  The quality of the blade manufacture was highly prized in these cultures and much effort was always directed by the swordsmith in producing a blade that was both flexible and strong.

Early Yataghan swords rare in the market

These early examples are rarely seen in the market and this is a fine yataghan in excellent condition for its great age with commensurate wear to the blade.  Blade length is 24 inches (29 inches overall).
