WW1 Era British Officer’s Brown Leather Bound Swagger Sword Stick With Ibberson Sheffield ‘Stradivarius Violin’ Trademark Blade. Sn 22426:27 - 22426:27 Ibberson is a famous and popular name in the Sheffield cutlery industry. From the mid-17th century to the beginning of the 19th century, there were just under a hundred Sheffield cutlers named Ibberson (or Ibbotson). A cutler named William Ibberson operated in the Stannington area to the north west of Sheffield as long ago as 1666, but it has been claimed that the origins of the George Ibberson company can be traced back to a Joseph Ibberson who made cutlery in 1700. In 1873, the company registered its world famous Stradivarius Violin trademark with The Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire. This mark, along with Ibberson’s other great trademark, Double sharp ##, would go on to gain legendary status amongst knife enthusiasts the world over. This is an original WW1 era brown leather covered wood Swagger Sword Stick & Scabbard in the form popular with British Officers during WW1 by Ibberson. It has a 13 ¼” flat diamond section steel blade which tapers to a sharp point.

**ANCIENT EDO PERIOD C1600-1700 BLADE ** Japanese Hand Forged Wakizashi Small Sword With Kogatana Side Knife, Scabbard & Expert Assessment. Sn 22280 - 22280 This ancient blade Japanese Wakizashi Sword has been assessed by UK Japanese sword expert Bill Tagg. A copy of his hand written notes with illustrations accompany the sword. Extracts from the notes include “An Edo period (1600-1700) blade cut down from katana and made into Wakizashi short sword. Damaged and battle broken blades were always re-worked and re-used because of expense in making new swords. I cannot make a guess at which school made this because shortening has lost original tang shape and also blade has no visible hamon or grain to give a clue to its maker. Blade probably had last polish in mid 19th century when it was pulled out of storage given a fast polish and fitted in its munition quality hilt mounted in odd fittings & given a simple wrap using coarse ito. This was an uprising of Certain loyalist Samurai against ban on carrying swords and the westernisation of Japan circa 1870’s. With a good quality black lacquer saya. Has a small amount of damage to mouth of saya otherwise good. Fited with kogatana side knife with worn kodjuka (hilt). Tsuba is good pierced iron with geometric shapes (Samurai taste), in good condition for its age late Edo 1750-1800. Needing a professional polish to bring out hamon forging work. In the right bright light you can see a vague deep gunome midare hamon (just about visible) under stains & old scratches. An interesting Wakizashi from Satsuma Rebellion Period”. In his illustrations he describes the cutting edge as 44cms & full length as 55.5 cms he also describes other sword dimensions and characteristics (illustrated in the images). The price for this ancient blade with expert opinion includes UK delivery. Sn 22280 £795.00 |
