British 1855 Pattern Land Transport Corps Sword by Kirschbaum. Description Straight unfullered single-edged blade. Ribbed solid brass hilt with cross guard, symmetrical round finials and oval pommel. No scabbard. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with a knight&#acute;s helm, this mark signifies the maker as C F Kirschbaum of Solingen. Imported German blades are not uncommon on British swords of the period, even those produced for the government. English firms would often buy in German blades then hilt and finish them. On the other side it is stamped with a crown inspection mark. Sidearms with the form of a neoclassical &#acute;gladius&#acute; appear to have originated with Napoleon&#acute;s love for all things Roman, and the French 1771 &#acute;Eagle Head&#acute; Artillery sword. A series of very similar-looking short swords were subsequently designed, including the French 1816 & 1831 Artillery, the US Model 1832 Foot Artillery, the Swiss 1842 Pioneer&#acute;s, the Russian 1848 Pioneer&#acute;s and the British 1855 Land Transport. They were not particularly useful for combat (the gladius having become obsolete for good reasons) so remained either ceremonial items or in the role of a machete for various field tasks such as clearing brush. The Land Transport Corps was formed in great haste in 1855, in the midst of the Crimean War: the British Army&#acute;s disorganized transport had resulted in disastrous supply breakdowns during the harsh winter of 1854, and a rapid response was required. Officers of the new unit carried the 1822 Light Cavalry sword while other ranks were armed with the 1855: a near replica of the French 1831 Artillery sidearm, making this the only British sword to follow the Continental gladius trend. A few dents to the brass hilt as expected for its age. The tip of the blade is very slightly bent.

British Scarce 1863 Pattern Whitworth Bayonet. Description Single-fullered &#acute;yataghan&#acute; downward-curving blade, cross hilt with lower quillon with round finial, and upper quillon projecting from the muzzle ring. Black chequered grips of pressed leather, attached to the tang with three rivets on one side and four on the other. External leaf spring which actuates the locking catch, attached by a single screw. Steel beaked pommel with distinctive circular mortise slot of the Whitworth. No scabbard. The pommel is stamped with &#acute;492&#acute;, probably an item or rack number. Both of the grips are stamped with a crown inspection mark, still very legible due to their good condition. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with a crown over &#acute;VR&#acute; (Victoria Regina) and on the other side with a crown inspection mark for Enfield. The back of the pommel bears the same inspection mark, and another similar is on the spine of the blade. The Whitworth rifle was adopted on a trial basis by the British Army in 1863, to be issued in small numbers to a small group of infantry regiments. 8,206 Whitworth bayonets were recorded manufactured between 1863 and 1866, which including the usual overages in production probably resulted in around 9,000 total. Metalwork has a quite dark patina and light pitting overall. The leather grips are very good, with little wear to the crisp chequering and only a few small dents. The scabbard for the much more common 1853 Pattern will fit this type.
