*Unusual* Brazilian M1908 Pattern Artillery Short Sword & Scabbard. 22516. -.

WW1 Era British Officer’s Brown Leather Bound Swagger Sword Stick With Ibberson Sheffield ‘Stradivarius Violin’ Trademark Blade. Sn 22426:27 -. Ibberson is a famous and popular name in the Sheffield cutlery industry. From the mid-17th century to the beginning of the 19th century, there were just under a hundred Sheffield cutlers named Ibberson (or Ibbotson). A cutler named William Ibberson operated in the Stannington area to the north west of Sheffield as long ago as 1666, but it has been claimed that the origins of the George Ibberson company can be traced back to a Joseph Ibberson who made cutlery in 1700. In 1873, the company registered its world famous Stradivarius Violin trademark with The Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire. This mark, along with Ibberson’s other great trademark, Double sharp ##, would go on to gain legendary status amongst knife enthusiasts the world over. This is an original WW1 era brown leather covered wood Swagger Sword Stick & Scabbard in the form popular with British Officers during WW1 by Ibberson. It has a 13 ¼” flat diamond section steel blade which tapers to a sharp point. The blade has age related staining and one side is marked with Ibberson’s ‘Stradivarius Violin’ Trademark and ‘Made In Sheffield England’. It measures 23 ¼” overall in its scabbard. The wood grip & scabbard are bound in brown leather. All leather and stitching is clean. The throat of the scabbard has a brass collar. There is surface wear to the top of the sword sticks handle consistent with service carry. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 22426:27 (armoury on top of gun rack)

AMERICAN STATE MILITIA NCO’S SWORD. Probably Civil War. Plated hilt with plumed visored helmet form pommel and “bow tie” guard. Reeded bone grip. 25 7/8” blade of medially fullered double edged fighting form. Plated scabbard with deeply hand-chiseled figure of a semi nude “wild man” standing over a severed head, a saltire and four leaf clover. Well used with the plating well preserved throughout. Swords of this type were produced for state militias, which comprised most of the combatants during the Civil War. The use of plating was not accepted under Federal regulations, but was well established and used extensively in hand guns and other applications. The figures on the scabbard were engraved before plating and evidently custom to the order of the sword's owner. Federal policy was that officers purchased and owned their swords. Militia policies varied and in fact, this sword may have been owned by a commissioned officer. As militias were adequately armed, as least by the end of the Civil War, a pre war or Civil War date is almost certain. After the war, there was a glut of swords and little need to produce them. Worth some research.

Japanese Army Artilleryman&#acute;s Short Sword, Second Model, c1886. Description Straight spear pointed blade with fuller on one side only, the other side flat. Steel crossbar hilt with forward-curving quillons each side, two-piece wood slab grips secured by two steel rivets, steel oval ball pommel. The blade is stamped at the ricasso with two Japanese characters. In 1884 the Imperial Japanese Army directed that rifles were to be withdrawn from Japanese artillerymen and in future short swords were to be issued to them instead. A commission was to be set up to review existing European designs for such swords and produce a new design based upon them, with stocks of Enfield rifle bayonets issued temporarily while this was carried out. This was characteristic of the Meiji period in which Japan deliberately absorbed Western ideas on military organization and equipment, seeking to achieve parity in technology and tactics. Multiple models of short sword emerged from this process “ the version which was probably the first to be introduced (KÅ

Swiss M1914 Schmidt-Rubin Sawback Bayonet, Early Leather Scabbard. Description Straight spear pointed blade with sawback, swell point and false edge, with single fuller on one side, the other side completely flat. Steel hilt with upper muzzle ring and lower lobe quillon, beaked steel pommel with locking button. Wood slab grips secured by two steel rivets. Brown leather scabbard with steel throat and chape pieces, the throat piece with frog loop with attached leather strap, the chape piece with ball finial. Brown leather frog. The blade is stamped at the ricasso with the manufacturer &#acute;Waffenfabrik Neuhausen&#acute;, and on the hilt with the serial number &#acute;90143&#acute;. The lobe quillon is stamped with a Swiss cross and circle. The scabbard finial is stamped with a Swiss cross. The reverse of the frog is stamped with the rubbed mak &#acute;_Schuss_&#acute; as well as &#acute;H Berger Sellerie&#acute;, a leather goods manufacturer in Prez-vers-Noréaz, a rubbed number &#acute;_2&#acute;, probably the manufacture date, as well as a cartouche (there should be a letter and Swiss cross within this, but these have rubbed). Offically called the Sägebajonett Mod. 1914 (Sawing Bayonet Model of 1914), the M1914 bayonet for the Schmidt-Rubin rifle was based upon the earlier M1878 and M1881 bayonets for the Vetterli rifle, with a similar sawback blade combined with the hilt design from the M1889 Schmidt-Rubin bayonet. The blade is unusual in that it is flat on one side and with a ground edge on the other. It has a &#acute;sawback&#acute;, saw teeth cut into the spine of the blade intended to make it useful for field work like cutting brush. The M1914 was only issued to certain troops such as transport NCOs, artillery drivers and engineers, while most troops carried a shorter knife blade without the sawback. It was used with the M1911 carbine and M1931 (K31) short rifle. This example has the earlier leather scabbard, its design also inherited from the Vetterli bayonets. These scabbards were produced for the M1914 until 1938, when an all-steel scabbard was introduced, which would have been more durable and weather resistant. The leather scabbards were replaced with steel as they wore out, making the leather version uncommon today. The blade is bright overall, some tiny spots of pitting at the tip and light patination in places, the expected rubbing marks from sheathing and drawing on the flat side. Residue suggests the saw has seen use but there are no broken or damaged teeth. The wood grips have some light dents and scratches. Some spots of wear to the plating at the pommel, exposing patinated steel. Scuffing and scratching to the scabbard leather, and a bend mark at the midsection. All the scabbard&#acute;s stitching is intact. Some very small dents and light scratching to the chape piece. The leather frog is flexible with some rubbing to the reverse surface, small losses to the stitching around the belt loop&#acute;s cutout. Its steel rivets and buckle are bright.

British Mark I 1856 Pattern Drummer&#acute;s or Bugler’s Sword of the 1st Midlothian (Leith) Rifle Volunteers Band, by Mole. Description Straight unfullered double-edged spear-pointed blade with diamond cross-section, nickel-plated brass hilt with central VR cypher of Queen Victoria, triangular langets and trefoil finials. Brown leather washer. Longitudinally ribbed brass grip, flared pommel. Black leather scabbard with plated brass fittings at throat and chape, the throat piece with teardrop-shaped frog stud bearing incised decoration. The blade is etched on one side with &#acute;MIDLOTHIAN RIFLE VOLUNTEERS BAND&#acute;, above which is a bugle emblem, enclosing the text &#acute;1st&#acute;, all this within a cartouche. It is etched on the other side with the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;ROBT MOLE & SONS&#acute; also within a cartouche, indicating the maker Robert Mole & Sons. The side of the grip is engraved with &#acute;1 ML 21&#acute;. The throat piece of the scabbard is similarly engraved with &#acute;1 ML 5&#acute;. 21 and 5 are probably rack numbers, and suggest that the scabbard was swapped with at one point, perhaps while in regimental stores. The throat piece of the scabbard is stamped on one side with the maker&#acute;s mark &#acute;MOLE&#acute;. The 1st Midlothian Rifle Volunteers was formed in Leith in 1859, one of a large number of volunteer units which sprang up during the late 1850s due to a perceived threat of invasion of Britain by France. Its initial four companies grew to eight by 1861. It absorbed the 4th Mid-Lothian (Corstorphine) Rifle Volunteer Corps in 1863, adding another three companies. Its size peaked in 1868 with 12 companies, the Band being one. In the Childers Reforms of 1881 militia and volunteer units were amalgamated with the regulars into larger regiments, so the 1st Midlothian became the 3rd Volunteer Battalion, Royal Scots. It was reduced to 10 companies in 1884. Another reorganization in 1888 bumped it down to the 5th Battalion, Royal Scots. In the Boer War it provided 196 volunteers who served with the Royal Scots, earning the battalion its sole battle honour South Africa 1900-02. In 1908 the Haldane Reforms made all Volunteers part of the Territorial Force and it became the 7th Battalion, The Royal Scots. It mustered for WW1 as the 1/7th Battalion. Its A and D Companies suffered heavy casualties before leaving the country, when the troop train carrying them from Larbert to Liverpool collided with a local passenger train at Quintishill near Gretna Green. It remains the worst rail disaster in British history, the military estimating 214 deaths and 191 injured, with additional civilian deaths bringing the count to around 226, the severity of the disaster and the loss of the unit&#acute;s muster roll leading to some uncertainty. Of the 58 survivors who made roll call, only six officers were deemed fit for service, including the regiment&#acute;s Lt Col W. Carmichael Peebles. These joined the other battalions at Liverpool and sailed to Cape Helles, Gallipoli, arriving in June 1915 whereafter it fought at Gully Ravine, Achi Baba Nullah and Krithia Nullahs. The 1/7th was evacuated in January 1916 and transferred to Egypt, fighting in numerous engagements around the Suez Canal and in the advance through Palestine. After the Ottoman surrender it was transferred to France in 1918. Afte WW1 the battalion was reconstituted in the Territorial Army. It fought in WW2 as the 7th/9th (Highlanders) Battalion, Royal Scots. Its lineage is today maintained by A (Royal Scots Borderers) Company, 52nd Lowland, 6th Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland. These ornamental short swords were issued to drummers and buglers of infantry regiments, the distinction being that the drummer&#acute;s version was issued with a brass hilt and the scarcer bugler&#acute;s model with an iron hilt. While the pattern was ordered to be adopted in 1856, there is evidence that similar-looking swords were being carried by musicians in some units as early as 1843, and some units did not actually adopt the new pattern until years after its introduction. This example is unusual in having been nickel plated. The plating is of excellent quality and is I believe period. This may have been done to &#acute;convert&#acute; a drummer&#acute;s sword into a bugler&#acute;s version by giving it a finish more like polished iron (and without the need for ongoing polishing to keep it bright), or it may have still been for a drummer but altered for taste. Rifle volunteer regiments were sometimes known to adopt non-regulation uniform standards purely for aesthetics: officer&#acute;s swords painted black or deeply blued are a common one. A degree of latitude was permitted for volunteers, and military bands in general were also less scrupulously held to regulations. If the Midlothians decided that plated swords would look better with their uniform than brass and make their bandsmen stand out, they could have had the work done privately. The blade has light speckled patination. Some rubbing to the etching, leaving the maker&#acute;s mark in particular faint. No damage to the edge, which is unsharpened on both sides. One repair to the blade at the midsection on one side. The nickel plating of the brass parts is excellent, bright and clean with only one tiny area of wear at the base of a quillon on one side, the revealed brass with verdigris. Light The leather of the scabbard has some surface-level cracking and small areas of flaking in places, its stitching is all intact. The chape piece of the scabbard is missing its staple but seems firmly attached regardless. The hilt and grip appear to have been repeened, consistent with the sword having been taken apart for chrome plating. This has not had any adverse effect - the blade is rock solid and rings when tapped.

Beautiful Early 18th Century Small Sword / Rapier With Silver Plume Pommel!. Here is a very nice C 1700 – 1740 European small sword. It has a wonderful cast brass hilt with several detailed figures including one with a cat, one with a club (maybe Hercules), one with a trident (possibly Poseidon) and others standing and reclining. Its twisted copper wire grip is in perfect condition as is its silver pommel decorated with a plume, both sides! During the 18th century it was common to award plumes for valor and bravery in both civilian and military life. Perhaps this silver pommel was a reward to a brave person or soldier or possibly the original brass pommel was damaged and a silver one fitted. We will probably never know. Its 29.5” long rapier blade is diamond shape in cross section and stamped “VINIVIVI” in the fullers, both sides with no pitting. Its counterguard has some looseness, but rest of guard is fairly tight. Overall very good condition. A very nice early 18th century sword that would be a great addition to any collection or decor for very little money! Price is firm. Thanks for looking!

German WW1 Ersatz Bayonet “ Carter Type EB50. Description Spear-pointed unfullered knife blade, steel hilt and grip with oil hole, the hilt of one-piece construction with split muzzle ring, grip with diagonal grooves. Black-painted steel scabbard with frog hook, partly wrapped with wire. Black paint to the hilt, traces of black paint in recessed areas of the grip like the grooves and the mortise slot. Blade 12 1/8 inches in length, the bayonet 16 7/8 inches overall. The ricasso is stamped on one side with a crown inspection mark, as is the spine of the blade. The pommel appears to have some form of stamping, one mark with what look like arrows. The &#acute;ersatz&#acute; bayonets were simplified models produced near the beginning of WW1 to fit the Gewehr 88 rifle: production had to be ramped up rapidly to equip the expanding German army, and existing factories either could not cope with demand or preferred to manufacture rifles, leaving bayonets to be made in many cases by smaller firms or ones which did not previously produce weapons. These hastily crafted bayonets had a hard life: many were used to destruction or sold into Turkish service. There are many types to collect: in the nomenclature of Carter&#acute;s definitive book on the subject, this would be an EB50 type.

German S84/98 Saw-Back Bayonet. Heller 1915. #2510008. This scarce World War 1, German S1884/98 sawback bayonet was made around 1915 by Gebruder Heller of Marienthal. These 1884/98 knife bayonets were used with the Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle.The 252mm single-edged blade has a broad single fuller below 38 saw teeth and terminates in a double-edged spear point. The blade is in good condition. There are small patches of shallow pin-prick pitting, mainly around the forte on one side. The blade retains a sharp fighting edge. The ricasso is marked with the maker’s trademark, GEBR. HELLER over MARIENTHAL.The polished steel pommel and cross guard are in good condition with very minor and shallow pin-pricks of pitting. A post production flash protector was added to the back of the grip to avoid the wooden scales being scorched by the rifle’s muzzle flash. The press-stud mechanism is in good working order and the wooden scales are in good condition with age and use related wear and staining.The bayonet is complete with its early issue black leather scabbard with steel mounts. These early scabbards are more associated with S84 bayonets converted from the earlier 1871 pattern bayonets. The leather scabbards were replaced with all steel scabbards in the early years of WW1 and are quite hard to find now. The locket and chape are in good condition and the stitched seam is intact and tight. The leather has become very soft and flexible over time. The bayonet sheathes and draws smoothly and is held firmly within the scabbard.This is a good example of a scarce saw-toothed Mk II pattern 1884/98 bayonet made at the beginning of WW1.

C1900 Brazilian Republic Heavy Cavalry Troopers Sword With Pipeback Blade By Weyersberg Kirschbaum & Co Solingen Germany & Scabbard. Sn 12555:4. -. On November 15, 1889 Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca deposed Emperor Dom Pedro II, declared Brazil a republic, and reorganized the Government. From 1889 to 1930, the Government was a constitutional democracy, but democracy was nominal. Immediately after the Republic was established Imperial German arms manufacturers supplied Brazil with arms and equipment to bolster the new regime’s military. The Republic ended in 1930 with a military coup, also known as the Brazilian Revolution of 1930 that installed Getúlio Vargas as a dictator.
