English Silver Gilt Hilted Small Sword hallmarked for 1779 by Charles Freeth of Birmingham. An interesting Small Sword by Charles Freeth of Birmingham. Freeth was an accomplished silversmith working from the end of the third quarter of the 18th century until the beginning of the 19th. He is best known for the exquisite silver mounts he produced for the most high profile London and Birmingham gunmakers in the early part of this period. Swords by Freeth are rare. This sword has a plain hilt covered in gilt now lightly worn at the edges to reveal the silver beneath in some parts. The guard is an oval slightly concave plate. The guard bar section consists of a quillon block from which the rear quillon projects with a flattened downward facing globular terminal and a knuckle bow which extends upwards at the front with a diamond shaped swelling in the middle. The top of the bow is fashioned as a tooth which hooks into an aperture in the pommel to stabilise the structure. A pair of pas d'ane rings project from the base of the block whilst a collar above forms the base to the grip. The tall ovoid pommel has an integral button on top and a flared neck beneath. The slightly baluster profile wooden grip is of rectangular section and bound with contra-twisted silver roped wire interspersed with silver riband. The hollow ground, triangular section, tapering blade, is engraved with a panel of scrollwork at the forte now worn due to the friction of drawing and sheathing the sword in its scabbard when it was present. The hilt is profusely marked with Charles Freeth's incused stamp of “C F” in raised relief inside a panel, plus the date and Birmingham hallmarks on the pommel, knuckle bow and dish guard. The blade length is 30.5 inches (77.5 cm) and the overall length of the sword is just over 37 inches (just over 94 cm). Overall the sword is in good condition. The pommel has an area of light scratches on one side.

FRENCH TRANSITIONAL RAPIER C.1710-20. This is the sword of a French military officer dating to the period of transition from the heavy rapier to the lighter smallsword, in response to changing fighting (fencing) techniques. The use of the rapier and smallsword were based on fencing techniques which evolved largely in Spain and Italy and were widely publicized. In battle or in a duel, popular in both countries, a fractional second misstep made the difference between success and failure, even life and death. This example mounts a 35 5/8” flattened diamond section blade with remnants of scrolling decoration at the forte. The brass hilt modeled with raised bands is heavier than its successors. It comes from Tiverton Castle, Tiverton, Devon, England, sold in the 1980's. The balance of their weapon collection is still displayed, viewable on the internet, and appears to be all English which would explain the sale of a French sword. This example dates to the War of Spanish Succession, French and Indian War (Seven Years War) and American Revolution, any one of which could explain its presence in an English Castle armory.
