A LARGE BALKAN DAGGER, 19TH CENTURY, PROBABLY ALBANIAN, with broad straight double-edged blade cut with a central fuller framed by a pair of slender grooves on each side, I-shaped morse hilt carved with a pronounced moulding top and bottom (small age cracks), in its velvet-covered wooden scabbard with large silver locket and chape (small dents), each chiselled with foliate borders, the former with associated white metal band and ring for suspension, and the latter with ball-shaped finial, 69.2cm; 27 1/4in
A FINE MALAYSIAN BRONZE LANTAKA GUN, 18TH/EARLY 19TH CENTURY, with multi-stage barrel formed with a pronounced moulding incorporating the foresight at the muzzle, cast with raised mouldings and foliage behind the muzzle, at the median and over the breech, the latter with provision for a vent cover, cast with a pattern of foliage around the base ring, characteristic hollow cascabel for a tiller, a pair of finely cast lifting handles formed as marine monsters, fitted with its original bronze swivel mount and in green patinated condition throughout, 146.5cm; 57 3/4in barrel
AN ETCHED RAPIER IN LATE 16TH CENTURY SAXON STYLE, LATE 19TH/EARLY 20TH CENTURY, with tapering blade of flattened-diamond section, stamped with a circular mark on one side towards the forte, rectangular ricasso etched with a panel of scrolling leafy tendrils and flowerheads on each side, iron hilt including a pair of straight quillons of hollow-diamond section, outer ring-guard swelling towards the centre, matching lower ring-guard fitted with a sprung-in plate, trifurcated inner-guard incorporating a thumb-loop, faceted ovoid pommel, and etched throughout en suite with the ricasso, and with a grip of twisted wire retained by a shaped etched iron collar top and bottom, 85.5cm; 33 7/8in blade. This sword is probably the work of the notorious forger Anton Konrad of Dresden. It is almost certainly inspired the silver-mounted rapier of Christian II, Elector of Saxony preserved in the Germanisches National Museum, Berlin.
A VERY RARE ENGLISH TRANSITIONAL RAPIER WITH BRASS HILT DECORATED WITH PORTRAIT BUSTS OF WILLIAM AND MARY, CIRCA 1690, with straight double-edged blade cut with a running wolf mark and stamped with the inscription `SAHAGVM` within a short fuller on each side at the forte (pitting), brass hilt comprising short down-curved quillon with flattened globular terminal, inner and outer ring-guards each interrupted by a central moulding and filled with a sprung-in plate, the plates each chiselled with a religious scene on the outer face and a mounted figure inside, retaining traces of gilding and black paint probably for funerary purposes, knuckle-guard interrupted by a foliate moulding and joined to the rings by an additional bar front and back, and spherical pommel chiselled against a matted ground with the crowned Royal monograms `WR` and `MR` on the front and the back, each divided by the respective crowned portrait busts and contained within a beadwork frame, and the grip retaining its original spiral binding of alternating thicknesses of plaited brass wire, 81.4cm; 32in blade. The decoration of the pommel is notably rare: it would appear that this sword is the only example of its type extant. A sword with a hilt of similar form inscribed `God save King William and Queen Mary` is preserved in the Royal Armouries, Leeds. See A. R. Dufty 1974, p. 25 and pl. 50.
