Lot 875
A British Georgian Brass Mounted Naval Dirk, c.1810, in Scabbard associated with the Naval Hero Sir Sidney Smith, with original paperwork. The dirk belonged to Sir Sidney's nephew, George Sidney Smith, a midshipman. It is of very unusual form, more like a stilleto, of heavy 'needle' shape, 23cm blade, designed for stabbing. Bright gilded circular brass fittings to grip, crossguard very slightly loose. Gilded brass scabbard, very finely engraved with leaves. Together with 2 manuscript letters written and signed by Sir Sidney to The Secretary to the Admiralty, J. W. Croker. First is dated 12 August 1814, regarding Sir Sidney's nephew's confirmation as a Lieutenant and mentioning a 'Mr. Locker', no doubt Capt. William Locker, Nelson's ‘Sea Daddy' as Nelson called him. The second is dated 29 August 1814, in which he also mentions his nephew. During the Georgian period recommendations like this were a common method whereby young aspiring Naval officers sought promotion through the influence of their relatives and friends. His letter of 12 August is rather indicative of his somewhat argumentative and confrontational nature. Together with 3 early Victorian love notes, good condition £460-£550 --- Provenance: Purchased by the present vendor from a descendant of the Smith family in Devon.
