Highly unusual and scarce English C.1640 Dish Hilt Rapier Sword

This is a very fine example of an English early 17th Century dish hilt rapier sword with chiselled decoration to the dish hilt.  The sword is probably unique in that it has a highly distinctive carved horn grip that has the appearance of a bamboo stalk.  The pommel is of large, globular form and the knucklebow and hilt bars are of bilobate style.  Blade is inlaid with brass lettering and symbols.  A very attractive piece.

Condition of the Sword

In excellent condition for its age – small losses to the grip.

Specifications of the Sword

Blade length is 34 inches (40 inches overall).

A very rare British 1850 Royal Engineers Driver’s Sword and Scabbard

This is one of the rarest of British regulation military swords for the collector.  The sword was actually manufactured by Schnitzler & Kirschbaum of Solingen for the Prussian Guard Hussar Regiment.  The sword was rejected during trials and eventually sold to the British Army who issued it the Royal Engineers.  Very few have survived and this sword has become a major target for British sword collectors.  It comprises a heavy iron, three-bar hilt and ribbed leather grip.  The blade is marked with British Army issue and sold out of service marks – there are also German issue stamps (dated to 1850) to the blade spine.  Complete with scabbard.

Condition of the Sword

In good overall condition – dark age patina and wear to the hilt and scabbard.

Specifications of the Sword

Blade length is 35 inches (40 inches overall).

English C.1800 Napoleonic Basket-hilted Naval Cutlass

An exceptionally rare and possibly unique example of a British Napoleonic basket-hilted Royal Navy Cutlass.   This appears to have been purpose-made at the time and comprises a sturdy iron basket hilt with a triangular pommel.  The blade is very wide and has a deeply impressed royal “GR” cypher, coupled with stars and moons.  The grip is stained wood with the remains of a buff leather liner(?).  This sword would have been a very effective close-quarter weapon on board a ship.  If you collect Napoleonic cutlasses, this has got to be one of the most unusual that you will come across.

Condition of the Cutlass

In good overall condition – some black japanning remains to the hilt.  One break to a hilt bar.

Specifications of the Cutlass

Blade length is 26 inches (32 inches overall).

A very rare example of a US Civil War Model 1852 Naval Officer’s Sword that is named to the owner on the pommel cap.  The sword is of standard type and made by Ames of Massachusetts – etched to the blade forte.  Blade has numerous etchings, including eagle, flag and stars, “USN”, crossed lances and anchor.

Sword named on the pommel cap

The sword has the name of J. (Joseph) Hadfield engraved to the pommel cap.  The brief research that I have done in the USN archives only comes up with one Hadfield, who served from 1863-1864 – please see here.  Hadfield is also mentioned in an account of action during the Civil War here.  Sword with fishskin grip and gilt brass hilt.  No scabbard.  In good condition overall – split to grip – some wear to the blade.  Blade length is 27.5 inches (33.5 inches overall).
