**ANCIENT 16th CENTURY BLADE**Japanese Soshuden School Ko (Small) Wakizashi Sword Blade In Wood Shira Saya Resting Mounts Sayagaki Signature ‘Soshu Masa Mune’ With Carry Bag / Cover & Expert Assessment. Sn 22238 -. This ancient blade has been assessed by UK Japanese sword expert Bill Tagg. A copy of Bill’s hand written notes and illustrations accompany the blade. In extracts from his notes Bill states “Ko (small) Wakizashi unsigned cut down from a larger blade. Blade shoulders (machi) moved down and tang reshaped. Looks like done along time ago with ancient rust on tang. Hard to define with alteration to tang shape but blade work looks Soshuden (School)work. There is a Sayagaki on the saya in ink experts written opinion saying Soshu Masa Mune, one man using this name nearly 800 years ago, most famous smith in history. Definitely not him but a lot of other smiths used this art name working in the 16th century more likely to be just an ordinary maker using famous name. Had work done in Japan in 20th century. Polish, polish and Shira Saya when this inscription put on by an unknown man, just his personal seal on end of saya. Interesting old blade with some flaws and tired spots”. In his illustrations of the blade he describes the cutting edge of blade as just under 34 cms. Total length just under 45 cms. He also translates the saya signature & describes other blade characteristics and dimensions (illustrated). The Wakizashi comes with a clean undamaged quilted Carry Bag / Cover. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 22238 (Tanto box armoury)

EUROPEAN RAPIER C.1650-80. A good example of a type which evolved about 1645 in response to changing social customs and swordsmanship and remained popular for about a generation. It has a fine 19 5/8” blade of diamond section. The iron hilt is boldly chiseled with flower buds and foliage. Fine silver wire-wrapped grip. A substantial weapon clearly intended to meet an attack in the streets. Such attacks were usually clandestine and with a knife, making the compact proportions of this weapon ideally suited for the counter-attack. Known to collectors, as pillow swords in recent years, they were more likely known to their owners as scarf swords. Norman discusses this and the method in which they were worn in The Rapier and Smallsword 1460-1820, Norman, page 186. Its contemporaries in Northern Europe were the transitional rapiers and occasional dish-hilted rapier. Smaller than either, it was able to be worn in social settings where the larger weapons were prohibited. Size, and thus weight, which in motion equates to inertia was always balanced against agility. In this weapon, the choice is for the latter.

ENGLISH INFANTRY HANGER C.1745-60. One of the large number of variants of the form, which predates standard pattern designations. The group is further diversified by swords made for noble militias serving the crown and contracts to German makers as conditions demanded. These served in the French and Indian Wars, The Revolution and on into the Napoleonic Wars. This example has an all brass hilt with symmetrical double shell guard as found on the pattern now identified as the 1742 infantry hanger. The shells bear several sets of issue marks including some partially obscured upon reissue. Additionally, there is wear from heavy and repeated use. The brass grip bears spiral modeling on the outer (right) face only. The spherical pommel is iconic to this group which is represented in Swords and Blades of the American Revolution, Neumann, #9.S-#20.S. The 35” narrow back fullered blade is typical for these as well. As these were serving in America two generations before the Revolution, it is likely that many were in the hands of Colonists at the outbreak of the War.
