Lot 216
A Victorian heavy cavalry officer's undress sword of the 1st Kings Dragoon Guards, fullered blade etched with regimental title and battle honours to 1860, also etched with owner's name 'W HARKNESS', retailed by W. Jones & Co. 236 Regent Street London, pierced steel guard of 'honeysuckle' pattern, lacks scabbard. Blade 90cm (35 1/4 inches). A Sub Lieutenant W H Harkness appears on the South Africa 1877-79 Medal Roll for the regiment as entitled to the medal with clasp for 1879. The London Gazette June 13th 1882 includes the entry 'Lieutenant William Henry Harkness to be Captain, vice H. C. Vetch." Dated 6th May, 1882.'. According to Robson, 'Swords of the British Army', this pattern of hilt was in use for heavy cavalry throughout the mid to late 19th Century, and the battle honour 'South Africa 1879' is omitted from the blade, inviting speculation that the sword might have seen service in the Zulu War, possibly even in the final charge at Ulundi.

Pillin of Soho, plated guard of 1857 Royal Engineers pattern with pierced scrolling foliate design (not removable), brown leather sword knot, brown leather covered scabbard, leather sword bag. Although the proud and illustrious 93rd (Sutherland Highlanders) Foot had been merged with the 91st Argyllshire Highlanders in 1881, they continued, as the 2nd battalion of the new regiment (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders), to use their old regimental number. This sword is an example of the interesting variant patterns adopted by some Highland Regiments as alternatives to the archetypal basket hilt.
