Jack Roberts Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Rushed for Sterling. SMALL SWORD Hallmarked for 1676 - 1677 A sword with a silver hilt was one of the marks of a gentleman, word for fashion and, less often, self defense. It was worn on a wide belt across the body and hung almost at the coat hem, angled to show the decorated hilt. Hilt of cast and engraved silver, with an etched blade The hilt made in London by William Badcock (Active 1668-1679); blade possibly made in England PICs Enjoy!

Capt. Sterling Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I love ye... just don't tell any one.... "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 John Barnett does a replica which is pretty close to that. I have one, they're great.

Capt. Sterling Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 This one? Thank you Foxe for the information.

Fox Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 That's the one. Far be it from me to impugn anyone's good name, but I'd be surprised if it's really hand forged. That said, very nice weapon - sometimes my favourite (depending on mood). Stands up well to gentle combat, but it's too sharp to be used safely for fighting anyway really.

William Brand Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 That's the one. Far be it from me to impugn anyone's good name, but I'd be surprised if it's really hand forged. That said, very nice weapon - sometimes my favourite (depending on mood). Stands up well to gentle combat, but it's too sharp to be used safely for fighting anyway really. Has it been reviewed in a very absolute way for balance, quality and the like? If so, is there a write-up somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
