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)

*Unusual* Brazilian M1908 Pattern Artillery Short Sword & Scabbard. 22516. -. This very nice Brazilian M1908 Artillery Short Sword was most likely released in 1976 from military stores in Rio De Janeiro, along with other now obsolete edged weapons. It is in very good overall condition. The 15 ½ “blades surface is clean and bright, with only a bit of light staining in areas. It has been sharpened at arsenal, and the main edge is still relatively sharp with no visible dents. As is correct for these swords, the blade is totally unmarked, though there are some number markings on the cross guard: 941 and 11969 on the top, and F 1 on the bottom. The hilt has checkered wooden grip panels, finished with shellac and retained by two screws with split nuts. Overall length of the sword is 20 5/8 inches. The steel fitted leather scabbard is also in very good condition, with the finish on the leather and furniture very nice. The price includes UK delivery. 22516. (Bucket)

US MILITIA SWORD C.1850. See The American Sword, Peterson #11. Brass hilt with helmet form pommel and straight cross guard with foliage decoration, shows some wear from use and good patina. Reeded bone grip, excellent. 27 1/4" double edged blade with mottled gray patina. Black leather covered iron scabbard lacks about 6” of the leather covering. The balance with wear commensurate with Civil War service and age. At the outbreak of the War, the majority of troops in service of both sides were from state militias.

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.
