Category: Sword Articles

An unusual British c.1790 Infantry Officer’s Sword. Is in the style of a contemporary cavalry sword but the blade length would probably indicate use by a foot officer. With brass hilt and ribbed leather grip. Blade is engraved with the name “PULHAM” to both sides of the blade forte. The name is not known to me as sword cutler or retailer so it might be the owner of the sword. Blade is also engraved with the royal coat of arms and scrolling foliage. Complete with original brass and leather mounted scabbard. Blade length is 26 inches (31 inches overall).

A very interesting and important Islamic axe or polearm. With deeply inlaid brass decoration, including Islamic texts. Probably 19th Century Sudanese/Mahdist. Am not sure if this was an axe or polearm or some other kind of weapon or ceremonial piece. Is a very impressive piece in the hand and worthy of further research and serious study. Height is 20.5 inches and the width is 11 inches.
