1896 pattern Indian Mountain Artillery Sabre. The mountain artillery sabre was issued to the Indian Army in 1850 when the Hazara Mountain Train was formed, by 1889 there were eight battalions. With its guns and ancillary equipment carried by mules a mountain battery could move at the same pace or faster than light infantry and a battery could be unloaded, assembled and brought into action within a few minutes. The ’world record’ is probably from the Tibet Expedition of 1904 when a section of one battery brought its guns into action at a height of 17,200 feet Both the sword is in good condition with no rust, and some minor pitting towards the tip. The mk2 scabbard over all is in a good condition. The spine is marked for Wilkinson and the has the inspection mark for the Indian army.The guard is marked 26 M.B. 228 4. This is for the 26th Jacob’s Mountain Battery, the battery can trace its origins back to Golandauze Battalion (1826). In 1843 it became the 10th Company Golandauze Battalion of Bombay Foot Artillery, and became the 26th Jacob’s Mountain Battery in 1903. During the First World War, the 26th Jacob’s Mountain Battery fought with great distinction at Gallipoli, Egypt, Mesopotamia and Persia. After the war, it again saw service on the Northwest Frontier. During the Second World War, it fought in the Burma Campaign as part of the 17th Indian Division.

British Prototype 1882 Short Pattern Cavalry Sword. MOLE. #2412007. This scarce sword is a prototype of the 1882 pattern for cavalry.In 1878, Robert Mole & Son of Birmingham was commissioned to develop a replacement for the unpopular 1864 pattern. The sword was to be lighter than the previous pattern and the guard to have rolled edges to reduce uniform wear. A new, lighter scabbard was also requested.The result was the 1880 experimental pattern. A total of 800 of the earlier 1864 pattern swords were converted by Mole and issued for trial.The 1880 experimental pattern met with mixed reviews and further modifications were suggested, resulting in two new official patterns. The 1882 short and 1882 long, the two patterns differing only in the length of their blades and scabbards.This sword is one of the original 800 conversions, complete with its experimental pattern scabbard. The blade was later shortened by the Wilkinson Sword Company to convert it to an 1882 short pattern.The 840mm (33 inch) single-edged blade has a flat spine above a single fuller and terminates in a spear point with an upper false edge. The blade is in great condition and was sharpened for trials. The ricasso is stamped with the name, WILKINSON. The name, MOLE is almost illegible on the spine, presumably having been removed by Wilkinson when they shortened the blade. No other stamps are present. The lack of pattern designation, Factory inspection and government ownership and issue stamps supports this sword being an early experimental model.The steel bowl guard has rolled edges and a lanyard slot at the top. The guard is in great condition with a small patch of very shallow (cleaned) pitting above the Maltese Cross. The guard is without stamps or markings. The knurled leather grip scales are fixed firmly in place and are in good condition.The sword is complete with its Mole experimental pattern scabbard. This pattern of scabbard was later adopted as the official pattern for the 1882 cavalry sword.The rolled steel scabbard has twin fixed suspension loops on the back edge. This is a major departure from the bands and loose rings on earlier scabbards. Each of the fixed loops is stamped with MOLE PATENT. The removable scabbard mouth (another departure from the fixed mouth on previous scabbards) is also stamped MOLE PATENT. No pattern designation, inspection or ownership stamps are present, as is to be expected from an experimental example not yet officially accepted as a regulation pattern by the War Office.The scabbard is in good condition with some very shallow (cleaned) pitting and three small shallow dings. The sword sheathes and draws smoothly.This is a scarce and great example of an experimental model of the 1882 short pattern cavalry sword.
