GOTHIC SHORTSWORD, GERMAN C.1450. 19 ¼” length with 13 ¾” blade of heavy wedge section. Excavated with its pommel cap and two of three grip rivets intact. Closely related to the scramseax of centuries earlier, these were swords of peasants, untrained in fencing, but of extraordinary musculature resulting from their backbreaking work. They were kept in the house at the front door for defense and carried when foul play might be encountered as when going to town. That they are weapons and not working knives, is verified by the fact that their original form is preserved, uncompromised by repeated sharpening, as would be the case with a working knife or tool.

US 1840 PATTERN FOOT OFFICER’S SWORD. Among the rarest of standard pattern swords, this sword is based on the 1840 NCO sword with distinguishing premium features. The all-brass hilt is decorated with foliage motifs on the pommel and knuckle bow. The left thickened edge side guard folds for wear and opens locked for combat. The underside of the guard is hemispherical to seat the folding guard and is above an oval brass blade seat. The 32 ¼” blade of this example is undecorated and unmarked. It has a chocolate brown patina with some islands of pitting mid-blade, mostly to the right side. Good uniform dark patina. Probably a German import under the pressures of War, this pattern is among the rarest of Civil War swords.
