Saxon Model 1867 Cavalry Trooper&#acute;s Sabre, Garde-Reiter Regiment, 1867-73. Description Curved single fullered sabre blade with spear point. Brass hilt with side bars. Brass backstrap, integral pommel with tang button and riveted ears. Ribbed grip of black leather over wood. Steel scabbard with two fixed hanging rings. Blade 34 3/8 inches in length, the sword 40 inches overall. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with the manufacturer&#acute;s mark &#acute;P. D. Lüneschloss, Solingen&#acute;. It is stamped on the other side with the crown and &#acute;JR&#acute; cypher of King Johann, who reigned from 1854 to 1873. The outside of the hilt is stamped &#acute;GR&#acute;, for Garde Reiter. The quillon is stamped on one side with a crown proof mark. The Garde-Reiter-Regiment (1. Schweres Regiment) (1st Royal Saxon Guards Heavy Cavalry) was established in 1680 as a regiment of cuirassiers. It was the senior and premier heavy cavalry regiment of the Kingdom of Saxony, fighting in its wars from the Battle of Vienna through to WW1. The Saxon M1867 cavalry sword used by the enlisted men of the Garde Reiter borrowed much of its design from the Prussian M1852 cavalry officer&#acute;s sword, but with a brass hilt. Other Saxon cavalry of the period used the M1867 with a steel hilt. The Garde Reiter Regiment was disbanded in 1919. The outside of the hilt should bear the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Saxony “ this has been lost, and one can see the two holes in the hilt where it would be riveted through. Removing the solidly riveted emblem would seem like a strange but deliberate modification. While this is speculative, this might have been done in the republican period for political reasons. The abdication of King Frederick Augustus III in 1918 left a power vacuum which led to several years of political violence in Saxony as left-wing radicals attempted to establish a Soviet Republic, opposed by right-wing forces including the infamous Freikorps, and later the army of the new Weimar Republic. The blade has areas of patination and pitting along its length. Its edge is undamaged, there are a couple of dents to the spine. No leather washer. The inside of the hilt has a dark, even patina, while the outside is brighter brass. Some patches of patination to the backstrap, pommel and ears. Only a short stub remains of the leather finger loop. A patch of leather has been lost from the grip on one3 side at the pommel end, exposing the ribbed wood beneath. Otherwise the grip shows very little handling wear. The scabbard has significant pitting and dark patination overall. It is structurally strong but has a rough texture.

British Circa 1804 Naval Cutlass with Unusual Variant Blade. Description Single fullered spear pointed blade with upturned tip section, iron &#acute;figure eight&#acute; hilt with sword knot slit, tubular quillon. Solid iron grip cast with corrugated texturing. Barest fragments of a leather washer. Blade 28 3/8 inches in length, the cutlass 33Â¼ inches overall. No scabbard. This cutlass has the &#acute;figure-eight&#acute; hilt and grip that were used on the first standardised cutlass for the Royal Navy, the 1804 Pattern, but pairs these with an unusually shaped blade, neither fully straight due to its upturned tip nor with a continuous curve. Its single narrow fuller running close to the spine is of the style seen on British hangers and backswords of the 18th century, whereas the 1804 Pattern was unfullered, simpler to manufacture but heavier in use. This blade shape seems to be rare but has been seen on other cutlasses of the late 18th century. See Lot 212 sold at Antony Cribb auctions on 26th Nov, 2024: described by them as a late 18th century American cutlass, that example has the same unusual blade shape but with a simpler iron strap hilt and ribbed wood grip. The Cribb example might indeed be American in origin, but this example is more likely British in origin because of its use of the Pattern hilt and grip. That said, British and American cutlasses of that period shared design features and components could be traded or reused. Without a maker&#acute;s mark this identification can&#acute;t be conclusive. With no evident military marks either I would suggest this cutlass was made for the commercial market: suppliers of the period sold even-handedly to the Royal Navy, merchant shipping and the growing American market. Compared with the Cribb example and most other pre-Pattern cutlasses I would say this was the better sword: the textured and contoured cast iron grip was less likely to turn in the hand and coped better with sea air than smooth wood, the figure-eight hilt offered more hand protection than a simple knucklebow, and providing a knot slit allowed it to be tied to the hand more securely. Logically this cutlass must postdate 1804, and was perhaps a transitional piece or a manufacturer making use of the availability of Pattern components to pair with traditional blades “30,000 of the 1804 Pattern were ordered split between ten different manufacturers in the period from 1804 to 1808, so plenty of parts would have been available from the production boom. Like other swords of this period the hanger has a low carbon tang and shoulder, forge welded to a higher carbon steel blade, and the differential aging of the two materials can be seen clearly at the transition point. The two pieces were stepped to increase the surface area of the weld: one can see the line of the weld on the spine and the iron surface extends further up the blade on the right face than the left (roughly 7 inches vs 6 inches). The blade is unsharpened with a few small dents to its edge and a slightly rolled tip (~1mm). Its surface has areas of patination, light scratching, spots of light pitting in the fuller and around the tip. The hilt and grip have the common black japanned finish, but have also been painted with an unusual tan colour. It is difficult to tell which was applied first but more of the tan remains, particularly on the inside of the hilt. Both have rubbing and flaking exposing heavily patinated iron. Slight rotational movement to the grip.

English 1751 Pattern Infantry Hanger, 2nd West Riding of Yorkshire Militia, by Samuel Harvey. Description Slightly curved hanger blade with hatchet point, single narrow fuller close to the spine. Cast brass heart-shaped hilt with two side bars, spiral grip and round pommel. No scabbard. Blade length ~24Â¾ inches (62.9cm), the sword ~30Â¼ inches (76.9cm) overall. The outside of the hilt is engraved with &#acute;YORK “ W-R “ 2 “ DB&#acute;, indicating issue to the 2nd West Riding Militia a.k.a. 2nd Regiment of West Yorkshire Militia and &#acute;1 / 31&#acute;, most likely a rack number. The blade is stamped on both sides with a running fox within which are the initials &#acute;SH&#acute;, indicating the maker Samuel Harvey. It is also stamped at the shoulder on one side with a crown mark. This indicates government inspection or ownership and suggests this hanger was part of an officially ordered production run. The &#acute;1751 Pattern&#acute; is not an official pattern of British sword (built to specifications set by the military establishment) but a widely used type that appeared around that date, was purchased officially to some degree and issued to many regiments. In this era colonels of regiments typically controlled procurement of equipment but market availability affected their choices and some larger-scale ordering took place. The 1751 is simple and durable, its blade typical of the British &#acute;hanger&#acute;, and survives in some numbers today considering its age. Almost all examples are marked to a militia unit. The West Riding of Yorkshire Militia was first raised in 1759, one of many created by the Militia Act of 1757 to respond to the threat posed by France during the Seven Years War. Parish constables drew up lists of all men aged 18 “ 50, with limited exemptions, then drew ballots to select some for three years of compulsory militia service, although men chosen could delegate their role to paid substitutes if they could find & afford them. Militia units were for home defence only, and could not be sent overseas “ service in practice meant a few weeks of training each year and occasional mustering for duty in keeping public order, almost always outside their home county. Nonetheless, the compulsory system was unpopular and riots broke out in Lincolnshire in 1757 over the Bill&#acute;s passage, some wrongly believing that it meant they would be conscripted into fighting overseas. Several counties delayed implementing the changes for years for fear of similar civil unrest. There were initially three regiments in the West Riding, but these were reorganized into two full regiments in 1763, the 1st and 2nd. The 2nd regiment, also called the Northern or &#acute;York Regiment&#acute;, was based at York and commanded by Col. William Thornton, who in 1745 had raised the &#acute;Yorkshire Blues&#acute; militia at his own expense to oppose the Jacobite Rebellion, and fought with them at the battle of Falkirk. Along with their muskets and bayonets the rank and file were armed with &#acute;Small Hangers, with Brass Hilts, Scabbards, and tanned Leather Waist-Belts&#acute;. The 2nd West Riding only assembled for their annual training until 1778 when it was embodied until the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1783. This pattern of brief periods of embodiment continued with no significant action. In 1853 it became the 21st, or 2nd West York Light Infantry. In 1881 the Childers Reforms amalgamated militia and volunteer units with the regulars into larger regiments, attaching the county militia units to their respective county&#acute;s regiments as their third or fourth battalions. The regiment therefore became the 3rd Battalion, The Prince of Wales’s Own (West Yorkshire Regiment). It was primarily a training unit during WW1 supplying trained men to the regular battalions, but being based at Whitley Bay was also part of the garrison on the Tyne. The 3rd Battalion was disbanded in 1953. The lineage of the West Yorkshire Regiment is today maintained by the 2nd Battalion, Royal Yorkshire Regiment. The firm of Samuel Harvey was established in 1748, and used the mark of the &#acute;running fox&#acute; on both sides of their sword blades. After Samuel&#acute;s death in 1778 the family business was continued by his son and grandson, both of the same name, the last of whom died in 1810. Like other swords of this period the hanger has a low carbon tang and shoulder, forge welded to a higher carbon steel blade, and the differential aging of the two materials can be seen clearly at the transition point. The two pieces were stepped to increase the surface area of the weld: one can see the line of the weld on the spine and the iron surface extends further up the blade on the right face than the left (roughly 2 1/8 inches vs 1 inch). The blade has been sharpened, with a number of nicks to its edge, some shallow notches near the tip. The tip itself is rounded and fractionally bent to the right in its last 3mm. It has patches of patination overall, some light pitting to the iron at the forte of the blade spotted heavier pitting near the tip. The brass parts have moderate patination and a few dents, including a larger one to the pommel. No cracks to the hilt bars. The short quillon usually found on this type has been lost. Slight movement of the hilt side to side, while the grip itself remains firm.

Pre 1803 Flank Officers Sabre. An unusual pre-1803 Flank Officers sabre with scabbard. The blade is 71cm long with a total length of 82cm. The brass guard and horn grip is in good condition with no chipping, the grip wire is partially intact. There is a small amount of movement in the handle, most likely caused by natural shrinkage in the wooden core of the handleThe leather scabbard is unusual lacking any form of drag at the chape, and pronounced cutouts at the throat for the langets. Possibly for an office serving in India, the design is similar to ones used later by the East India CompanyFollowing the introduction of the 1796 Infantry Officers spadroon many officers serving in the Flank Companies of regiments required something more robust. Often charged with skirmishing close to the enemy lines, these officers required a more suitable weapon, and by 1799 many had adopted the sabre. This also had the advantage of being suspended on slings, and could be hitched up for travel over rough ground more easily than traditional officers sword

The blade measures 30mm wide at the ricasso and has an 8mm thick spine.The blade is un-sharpened and is in great condition.
