AN EXTREMELY RARE SCOTTISH PLUG BAYONET C.1690. This example, with 9" blade, belongs to a group of daggers with similar blades and guards, decorated in silver as is this one, many of which bear Jacobite mottos. They have spatulate profile reeded bog oak grips. A very few, as this one are mounted as plug bayonets. The hilt is darkly grained bog oak with a silver ferrule and silver flower head disk at the top. The Jacobite Rebellion came at a time when the plug bayonet had reached its greatest popularity and this is the Scottish separatists rendition. Provenance: J. F. R. Winsbury Collection

Civil War Presentation US M1850 Staff & Field Officer’s Sword. In 1850, the US Army designated two sword models for commissioned infantry officers; the M1850 Foot Officer's Sword and the M1850 Staff & Field Officer's Sword. The foot officer's sword was to be for company-level officers of the rank of Captain and below, while the staff & field sword was for officers of the rank major and above. However, in actual practice they were interchangeable and ownership apparently had little or nothing to do with rank. Both model swords followed the same basic design, with the only difference being that the staff & field sword had a cutout “US” worked into the design of the guard. This example features gilt cast brass guard of standard form, pierced and decorated with classical foliate design and “US” on the upper obverse face; integral knuckle bow joining the capstan pommel. The wood grip is covered with shagreen and wrapped with twisted brass wire (wire broken and missing a few turns). Slightly curved single-edged 30 3/4″ blade with wide and narrow fullers, profusely etched with foliage, stands of arms, and maker's name “W. H./Horstman/& Sons/PHILADELPHIA” just below the guard; “IRON PROOF” etched on the spine. Brown metal scabbard with gilt brass mounts, the upper carry band engraved “Presented to/CAPT N. L. HAWLEY/by his Democratic friends/of Lockport”. While he is not listed in the Civil War Database of soldiers, Norman L. Hawley was a captain in the Lockport Light Artillery, attached to the 4th Illinois Cavalry. Illinois records show he mustered in on July 31, 1861. The 4th Illinois Cavalry officially began service on September 26, 1861 and was consolidated into the 12th Illinois Cavalry Regiment on June 14, 1865. The regiment saw action at Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, the Battle of Shiloh, Siege of Corinth, and the battles of Coffeeville and Egypt Station. Further research would likely reveal more information about Captain Hawley, and a book was published on the history of the 4th Illinois Cavalry in 1903, now available in reprint. Except for the grip wire, the sword is in very good condition, with about 40% original gilding on the hilt; the blade is very good plus, with bright frosty finish and clear markings. Overall length 36 ½”, not including scabbard.
