A VERY RARE DECCANI SWORD, LATE 16TH/17TH CENTURY with unusually long curved fullered blade made in the Firanghi style, double-edged towards the point, punched with Bikaner Armoury mark at the forte, integral steel hilt formed of a broad figure-of-eight shaped plate at the base and large disc shaped pommel with faceted bud-shaped finial 108cm; 42 1/2in blade Provenance The Bikaner Arsenal, Rajasthan The blade is unusual in that it splits into three at the tang to provide the ridged upper part of the basket guard. This detail can be seen on a small number of swords with a similar provenance in the Ganga Government Museum, Bikaner. This group was captured by Raja Anup Singh of Bikaner who was present with his Rajputs as part of the Mughal army besieging Adoni, the last fortress to hold out in the Mughal campaign against Bijapur state which fell in 1689. The Raja took his booty home to Bikaner where it was inscribed with the word Adoni. The arms in the armoury included weapons captured from Vijayanagara at the battle of Talikota in 1565 and subsequently. See R. Elgood 2004, p. 97.

Francis Stupart married, in Dublin on 8th April 1821, Anne, a daughter of John Jameson of Alloa. There were three children of the marriage: Margaret Haig, born 1823; John, born 1825 and Robert, born 1827.

Elected captain and then major in 13th Pennsylvania Reserves - the `Bucktails` - in the spring and summer of 1861, he saw active service before being commissioned colonel of 149th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry in August 1862. Commanding a brigade with distinction in the Gettysburg campaign, Stone was wounded during that battle and, in 1864, given the brevet of brigadier-general of U.S. Volunteers in recognition of his gallant services during the Civil War and especially at Gettysburg; he retired from the army in 1865. For the next 30 years, Stone worked as a civil engineer specialising in road construction and rapid and mass transit systems, being appointed Special Agent, subsequently Director, in charge of the US Office of Road Inquiry in 1893. Stone volunteered his services during the Spanish-American War and was commissioned brigadier-general in the US Volunteers in June 1898; in this rank he served in the Corps of Engineers in Puerto Rico under Generals Nelson Miles and George Garretson, his responsibility being the opening and maintenance of communications networks, although he also distinguished himself in command of flying columns, and he was honourably discharged at the end of 1898. Returning to work at the Office of Road Enquiry, Stone retired in October 1899 and died in Mendham, New Jersey, six years later, being buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Stone Avenue in the Gettysburg National Military Park is named after him. In 1903, his daughter, Romaine Madeleine Turnure, née Stone, married Augustus Debonnaire John Monson, 9th Baron Monson (1868-1940). See R. Field 1998, pp. 33, 38 & (described) 48 and R. F. Weingroff.
