EW-1: BRITISH MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY P.1896: Maker Wilkinson. Dated March 1898. Clear Wilkinson Proof marks with Ordnance Broad Arrow. Very nice clean blade. The iron hilt is also very nice. The brass mounted brown leather scabbard is the MK II Pattern. The scabbard chape is dated 1909 with an unidentified mark with a Broad Arrow. Canada had one Mountain Artillery Battery, organized as a half Battery by General Order 27 June 1879 in Sault Ste Marie. It ceased to exist some time before 1898. As Robson states in his “Swords of the British Army” (Revised Edition) P.228-230, “The Mountain Artillery Pattern 1896 sword is one of the rarest of all Regulation Patterns” (Plate 206). The sword and scabbard are in V.G. + Condition.

SOLDEW-2: 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.
