$4,650.00 

The presence of Hungarian swords in the arsenals of the Republic of Venetia dates to the 15th century. Slavonic mercenaries banded together to defend their hosts from invading Turks. The bodyguard of the Doge of Venice was comprised of Schiavone. In flamboyant Turkish costume and armed with their elegant broadswords, schiavonas, they rivaled the winged hussars of their northern neighbor, Poland, for flair and ferocity. The schiavona descended directly from the Gothic broadsword and never los ...click for details

The front forged and skillfully chiseled with a high relief portrait, presumably Louis XVI, in profile in a cut away coat with his arm at his side. In place of a crown, a hat, which doubles as the bib of a cowl surrounding the face of a man with features of a pig which rises above.

$4,500.00 

This example, with 9 blade, belongs to a group of daggers with similar blades and guards, decorated in silver as is this one, many of which bear Jacobite mottos. They have spatulate profile reeded bog oak grips. This evidently is the only one mounted as a plug bayonet. The hilt is darkly grained bog oak with a silver ferrule and silver flower head disk at the top. The Jacobite Rebellion came at a time when the plug bayonet had reached its greatest popularity so it is not surprising to find a Sco ...click for details

$4,400.00 

This sword is of a type which evolved in the late 16th century in response to changing fighting techniques. It was carried by a foot soldier in partial armor to attack an opponent similarly protected. Variations include examples with shell guards to the right side as well as rings, as with this example. The blade is large and heavy enough to inflict damage to the lightly protected arms and hands and its cutting edge is effective at slashing any less protected areas. The decoration of the bla ...click for details
