Edged Weapons from V&A


Jack Roberts

Recommended Posts

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

John Barnett does a replica which is pretty close to that. I have one, they're great.

Thank you Foxe for the information.

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?
