EW-18: SPANISH CUP HILT RPAIER: Circa 1650-1700. Long Flamberge blade 38”,
7/8” wide. “IN SOLINGEN” is engraved in each fuller, with an “S” at the end of each fuller. The “S” is another Solingen mark. The cup hilt is of particular interest as the design on the outward half of the cup is chiseled with an
INCA / AZTEC influence. This design unquestionably has the sword connected to the New World (the Americas). The voided areas along the edge and upper portion of the guard are very nicely done. The entire hilt style is of a classic Spanish style and in exceptional condition. This is an extremely rare and important piece.

EW-28: HUDSON’S BAY COMPANY SWORD. Brass hilt with a lion’s head pommel. It appears upon close examination the hilt was silver plated originally. Only traces appear in protected areas. The 21 inch blade has an etched 4 inch panel with the letters “HBCo”. There is very light pitting over the entire blade which in no way diminishes its very fine overall appearance. In Vol. 22 No. 2 of the C.J.A.C. an article on known Hudson’s Bay Co. swords illustrates four examples. One other example is in the Museum of the Fur Trade in Nebraska. According to Jim Gooding, the author of the article, after close to 50 years research on the subject, these are the only known examples that have provenance to the H.B. Co and none of them are marked and would seem to have been purchased privately. According to Gooding, this sword with the “HBCo” etched on the blade would have been purchased by the Company, possibly for presentation to an employee.
