PERSIAN RENAISSANCE REVIVAL SWORD, 19TH CENTURY. Iconic example of this rare type which are dated variously from late 18th century to mid 19th. 28” broadsword blade, replicating the 15th century originals. Decorated with five portraits of nobles each side on a background of thicket made up of stylized thuluth calligraphy. Elaborately shaped iron hilt with cross form pommel and monster form quillon terminals. This example with remnants of silver decoration on both sides. The silver worn and the pommel with a dent each side, probably from ritual use. At least one reference states that these are made with undecorated hilts and we found only one other with decoration, further distinguishing this example.

Swedish m/1791 Hussar Trooper’s Sword. Description Curved blade with double fullers, one narrow and one broad &#acute;a la Montmorency&#acute;, double-edged at the point. Plain regulation stirrup hilt with faceted rectangular langets, quillon, bevelled knuckle-guard, and one-piece backstrap with slightly beaked pommel cap. Grip of pressed leather over cord-bound wood. Leather washer. Steel wood-lined scabbard in two sections, exposed wood section between them painted black, with two hanging rings. The outside of the hilt is stamped with &#acute;K.2 : 9IL13 : 384&#acute;. The upper hanging ring swivel of the scabbard is stamped &#acute;IL13 : 384&#acute;, indicating a matching pair. I am not certain of these markings&#acute; significance. Sweden&#acute;s first corps of hussars was created in 1757 at the outset of the Seven Years&#acute; War, taking inspiration from the Hungarian Hussars, which served as auxiliaries to the Prussian army of the time. These Hungarians were considered the best light cavalrymen in Europe and their equipment, dress and tactics were hugely influential. One of the first Swedish Hussars, enlisting in 1758 at the age of 16, was Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, who was captured by the Prussians in 1760, switched sides to join their Belling Hussars and became the most capable and highly-decorated commander in Prussian history. A sabre for the Swedish Hussar regiments was officially approved in 1759, essentially a copy of the successful Prussian Model 1742 (which also inspired the British 1788 Pattern Light Cavalry sword). The m/1759 was in due course replaced by the m/1791, which deviated slightly from the Prussian format with a simpler scabbard and square rather than tapering langets. The m/1791 would have been carried by Hussar units into the Napoleonic Wars when Sweden joined the Third Coalition against France in 1805. Their army fought in Hanover and Swedish Pomerania, notably including the Great Sortie of Stralsund, in the aftermath of which the Swedish hussars distinguished themselves in cutting off retreating French forces: a mere 4 hussars successfully captured 104 French soldiers on the road to Neukalen, while 42 hussars under Bror Cederström secured both a French baggage train and 209 soldiers from the 72nd Infantry. Swedish forces were driven out of Pomerania back to Sweden in September of 1807. At this time the m/1791 was replaced in some regiments by the new m/1807 sabre, while others appear to have retained it until the introduction of the m/1814 or the m/1825 sabres. The blade has a number of nicks to its edge and a rounded tip, which appears to have broken and been reshaped. The grip is in very good condition for its age, but there are some small losses to the leather at its edges. Some surface flaking to the paint on the leather-faced section of the scabbard. The scabbard&#acute;s metal sections have numerous small bumps and dents, which do not interfere with sheathing and drawing. The leather washer has quite roughly cut edges “ this may be a replacement.

English Plug Bayonet, Last Quarter 17th C. The plug bayonets of England had curved blades more often than any other country. The example offered here features an unmarked slightly curved 11 1/16″ single-edged blade of wedge section, the last 4 3/4″ double-edged. Brass guard with acorn finials and brass pommel with small turned button finial. Figured walnut grip with brass base ferrule. Blade smooth and near excellent, with one tiny edge nick. Grip and guard also near excellent, appearing to have never been mounted in a gun barrel. Overall length 17″. Though probably originating around 1550, the plug bayonet had a relatively short span of use from around 1650-1720 (except in Spain where they were used into the 19th C). Their rise in popularity largely paralleled the development of standing armies in Europe, which were realizing the importance of the musketeer, while at the same time not wanting to wholly abandon the pike. In this sense the plug bayonet can be considered a transitional weapon. However, despite its use as a dagger on its own, it was soon found to be impractical since it's use prevented the musket from being fired. Countless soldiers also found great difficulties in removing a stuck plug bayonet from the muzzle, rendering the musket useless as a firearm. Many were damaged while being removed and as a result relatively few survive. For these reasons it was soon superseded by the socket bayonet, which did not affect the musket's ability to fire and could much more easily be removed.
