This is a good example of the popular 1908 cavalry trooper sword. The sword itself was made by Enfield in 1915. There are no unit markings left on the sword, but thr scabbard is marked to the 6th Dragoon Guards or Carabiniers. The Regiment was one of the oldest in Britain, and served in many...

This wakizashi dates from the Shinto era (late 16th century to mid 18th), and could perhaps be older as it was cut down from a longer blade. This wakizashi is in need of some love. The scabbard is split and missing its fittings, the ito was varnished by a previous owner and is now brittle,... Continue Reading →

This is the typical gladius which equipped the French infantry. This one was made by Coulaux in Klingenthal in the early 1830s.  It is in good condition. The assembly is very tight with no rattle. It has marks of oxidation all along the blade, and a few minor nicks around the edges. SOLD

This is an unusual example of a tulwar made with a smaller blade and a brass hilt. The blade has a slight movement to it, a broken langet and a small hole at the base of the hilt. Nevertheless, it is a very nice piece of Indian history.SOLD

The blade is decorated on each sides and is not only fixed by resin, as is traditionally done,... Continue Reading →
