Probably a one of a kind, Veterans, Guild or Masonic Lodge dagger. The French blade is a well made example of the late 18th and early 18th C, with a partial signature. The brass hilt and scabbard are remarkable in their detail. The scabbard bears a French Phrygian cap, a symbol of the Revolution as well as for Liberty in the American Revolution. The flaming bomb and stacked cannon balls along with masonic square and compass, suggest a Guild or Lodge of Artillery Veterans. The owners initials, LL appear both on the scabbard as well as the hilt pommel. The brass hilt bears different classical images, in relief, on each side. The quillons may have been removed? A fascinating piece of Revolutionary or Masonic history or perhaps both?. Length 15.75", blade 11.5". C1800.   « Less

This item has been SOLD. A very good example of a quality, Brass hilted, Imperial German Watchmans sword with engraved blade. The configuration is often confused with, Artillery NCO "walking out" or dress sidearms. The blade bears the trade mark of the sword makers Clemen and Jung of Solingen. The slightly curved, plated blade bears their attractive "Standard" engraving which is clear and unspoiled with the frosted background 99% in tact. The blade itself has some spotting at the tip and a few small spots of rust. The leather scabbard is sound and the seams intact although the leather surface has flaked due to dryness. This is also the probable reason for a bit of shrinkage in the length of the scabbard. By the end of the 19th C the tradition of the reserve or retired military night watchman who had stood guard over the townships and cities of Germany had ended. This handsome sword is a momento of that tradition. Overall length 27.75", blade 22.5".   « Less
