Exceptional English Silver Hilted Mid 18th Century Small Sword with a Dish Shell Guard. originality and homogeneity of the parts of the sword. The style indicates that the sword was made in England in the middle of the 18th century. The hilt does not carry any date, maker’s marks, or hallmarks, which means that the silver content of the hilt and the precise place of manufacture are unknown. The strength and substance of the sword indicates that it was made to withstand more than normal civilian wear and use and probably belonged to a military officer. The sword is of imposing substance and well balanced in hand. The hilt is an example of the high standards of design and execution required of 18th century silversmiths as well as an example of one of the most effective weapons of the 17th and 18th centuries. Silver hilted small swords were fashionable attire for 18th century gentlemen. Mostly worn for effect, someone wearing such a sword was also announcing to the world that he was able to use it. Despite the stylish and often delicate appearance of these swords they were formidable dueling weapons. This example was most certainly so. The triangular section, stiff, hollow ground, colichemarde blade is a strong example of its type and of exceptional quality. The blade is crisply engraved at the forte on each side with panels containing stands of arms in the centre and foliate designs above and below with a further scrolled design further along the blade. The engraved parts are of confident, deep execution and retain some original gilt finish. Overall the blade retains much of its original polished surface. The attractive baluster shaped wooden grip is spirally bound with twisted brass wire, overlain with pairs of contra-twisted silver ropes, in the manner adopted by both English and French cutlers. Brass Turks Heads are mounted top and bottom. The sword is in fine condition overall with some light age staining to the blade which is smoothly and lightly patinated. There are no losses or repairs to the hilt which has maintained its original pleasing outline. The overall length of the sword is 41.75 inches (105.75 cm) and the blade 35.25 inches (89.25 cm) long.

Late 17th Century English Plug Bayonet for an Officer with Fire Gilt Mounts. A fine English Plug Bayonet for an Army Officer dating to circa 1690 to 1700. Plug bayonets were used by the British military after the middle years of the 17th century until they were replaced with the socket bayonet in the early 18th century. The figured hardwood grip is of circular section tapering towards the pommel and has the characteristic swelling at the base turned with sets of decorative grooves around the circumference above, midway and below. A brass ferrule at the base separates the wooden grip from the cross guard. This is also decorated with a pattern of horizontal circular grooves. The cross has a thick oval shaped block with faceted edge and horizontal quillons. The tapering brass pommel sleeve is also decorated with horizontal grooves. Each quillon terminal and the pommel top consists of a helmeted warrior’s head. The mounts retain most of their original gilding. The particular feature of helmeted heads forming pommel caps and / or quillon tips was noted by Harold Peterson as an “English pattern that seems to have been very popular during the very late 17th century, and possibly the opening years of the next century” which “boasted pommels and quillon terminals in the form of helmeted heads”. A survey of plug bayonets by R.D.C Evans devotes a section to English plug bayonets and notes that those with helmeted heads are English and illustrates several bayonets of this type. The slightly curved single edged blade is of robust manufacture. It has a pronounced fuller which extends underneath the spine to the tip. Near the hilt the blade maker’s mark “ANDRIA FARARA” is present on both sides indicating that the blade is of German, probably Solingen, manufacture. It has been adapted from an obsolete heavy sabre blade. The blade is double edged for two fifths of its length towards the tip. The ricasso consists of a blunt edge on the cutting side near the hilt which has a short fuller running along side after which the sharp working edge commences. The blade length is just over 13.75 inches (35 cm) and overall the bayonet is 20.25 inches long (51.5 cm). Army officers wore plug bayonets. A portrait of Captain Francis Hawley of the 1st Foot Guards in 1685 shows the Captain wearing a plug bayonet which has a plain wooden hardwood hilt mounted with brass. Acknowledgements: Peter Finer Ltd, 2003 Catalogue, item 30 “A Fine English Plug Bayonet for an Army Officer circa 1690”. The bayonet is in fine condition overall. The hardwood grip exhibits a rich dark patina. The blade has mottled blackened patches in places.
