Ex Rare American Revolution Signed Horseman’s Saber, Ex Flayderman Coll.. Here is the rarest of the rare when it comes to American Revolutionary War horseman’s sabers! It is the only recorded example of a horseman’s sword attributed to Pennsylvania cutler Josiah Wood and struck deeply with his mark on the blade’s ricasso. Ex Norman Flayderman collection and pictured in the most important reference for American Rev War swords; “Swords and Blades of the American Revolution”, by George Neumann, plate 314s. Josiah Wood contracted with the Committee of Safety for production of pikes during the Revolution. He is recorded in “Arms Makers of Colonial America” by Whisker, page 205. The Wood saber is constructed in the usual Rev War era 4 slot guard pattern, but the side bars are not straight, they are diamond shaped and the entire hilt is profusely decorated all over with 100’s of tiny differing punches. It is highlighted by the beautiful, tall decorated pommel. The original, twist carved, walnut grip is completely intact (no damage or cracking) as is the original brass grip wire (now slightly loose from natural wood grip shrinkage). The plain, flat, curved blade measures 33” and is deeply struck at the ricasso with Josiah Wood’s mark. It is in untouched, uncleaned condition with a deep aged patina. Only some mild pitting near tip. Sword is in overall excellent original condition! Signed American Rev War sabers are extreme rarities. A James Potter, NY horseman’s saber now brings about $25,000. Our Josiah Wood saber is considerably rarer (and absolutely gorgeous) compared to the plain black, non decorated Potter sabers. When you take into consideration that there are an estimated 30 + surviving examples of the James Potter sabers and only one known example of the Josiah Wood saber there is no comparison! This is truly the rarest of the rare! For the most advanced American Revolutionary collection or museum. If you want the best of the best and the rarest of the rare, here it is! Serious inquires only. Please state full name and location if you would like a response. We are only asking 25K on this great, museum quality, signed American Revolutionary War horseman's saber. About the same as the going price of a common James Potter horseman's saber. Don't let this pass you by. He who hesitates is lost!

Local Price : $14995.00

Silver Inlaid North European Rapier from Hever Castle, ca. 1630. Iron hilt of flattened oval-section bars with vertically recurved quillions expanding toward the ends with button finials; large side ring; the reverse of round-section bars with thumb ring; and flattened pear-shaped pommel. Hilt entirely encrusted with silver on a blackened background, including a running pattern of foliage, fish on the quillon terminals, a dragon being slayed by an armored figure on the obverse face of the pommel and the multi-headed hound of Hades Cerberus on the reverse. The grip bound with plaited wire and finished with Turks heads top and bottom. Double-edged tapering 35 3/4” (90.8 cm) blade of flattened hexagonal section with 6 1/2” central fuller stamped “XX MADERET XX” on each side with a stamped anchor mark at the fuller's end. Overall length 41 1/2” (105.4 cm). Blade with light pitting; small collection label “143” on blade and inside of side ring; silver lightly worn in spots, but excellent overall. The 1983 Hever Castle Sale catalog suggests that the silver was applied later, though we have no idea how this was determined, other than by its exceptional state of preservation. This style rapier carried by cavalry under the command of Gustavus Adolphus during the Thirty Years War. Provenance: The Lord Astor of Hever, The Hever Castle Collection, sold Sotheby's, 5th May 1983, lot 129. Generally known simply as the “Hever Castle Sale”, this sale is considered to be perhaps the most important sale of arms and armor in the modern era.

Local Price : 19,000.00 USD

RARE SPANISH OR ITALIAN WHEEL POMMEL RAPIER C.1530. No single form or date can be given to the point at which the rapier evolved. However, accepting the common definition, this example comes very close to that point, retaining the principal attributes of the Gothic broadsword, straight cross guard and wheel pommel. Its simple counter guard is identical to one on an example in the Sir James Mann collection dated to the 1520s. Other examples with variations of the guard are dated earlier, however, they all evidently have cutting/thrusting blades. The heavy diamond section blade of this example marked VALENCIA (sic.) distinguishes it as among the very earliest swords made primarily for thrusting with in respect to then evolving sword technique. 35 3/4" length blade. Allowing for the commerce in weapons, the universal popularity of imported weapons and the blade inscription, it is reasonable to conclude that it was produced for the Spanish market and as such might be linked to the conquistadors. Of the few related examples, it appears that several are in excavated condition and nearly all in public collections.
