U.S. contract 1818 Starr infantry/artillery nco sword.

I am not sure how we should define hanger but I have many swords with blades less than thirty inches and were ofen carried in a frog type scabbard.

Cheers

U.S. militia swords. The shorter ones on our left from the 1840s. Two have spadroon type blades. The two with the narrower reeding to the grips are from Horstmann and the rest Ames.

Here's a little beauty I picked up two years ago right out of the woodwork!

Model 1771 Glaive de l'Artillerie.

Gladius form blade, double edged, cast and chased brass hilt. Two poinçons at the forte. I tried to get some close-ups of these.

Since the reference works I have on French swords is of a very general nature, any info on the marks would be appreciated!

This type has been on my wish list for a long time simply because of its unique form and beauty.

Enjoy!

With reference to the original No 4. "Hyde Division" was a divison of the Cheshire Police in the 19th Century. Hyde is now a suburb of Greater Manchester. These "sabres" as they were known, were kept in the Division stores, only to be issued when serious riots or disturbances were expected. Being little used they had a long life, And I think this one could easily date from the 1840's.
