Established in 1537 the HAC is the oldest Regiment in the British army. It was primarily a citizen militia and raised in times of national emergency including the Armada, English Civil war and Napoleonic wars. Until the Victorian era, Officers would have followed regular infantry sword patterns. As this was a volunteer army, they would have to pay for all service equipment including their own swords. This sword highlights the strong influence of French sword design in that era, particularly with regard to the knuckle bow and angled or canted pommel (see page 175 of World Swords by Withers).This is a very good example of the HAC Officer’s Sword. Our example has a 31 ½” long, rapier type steel blade (37” overall). The blade has light staining consistent with age. Both sides have foliate engraved panels, one side has stylised combined ‘HAC’ monogram, the reverse has what looks like ‘WRN’ combined stylised monogram possibly the name of the Officer who commissioned this sword.

Withers in his book World swords (page 121), states that German sword makers produced large quantities of swords for export to both European & American markets during the mid-19th century including both Union & Confederate forces during the American Civil War, many of these swords were not marked with German identification marks, signifying Germany’s reluctance to identify or align themselves with any particular combatant allowing them to sell to both warring Governments.
