Small Sword No. 10
This lovely weapon is cast from the silver relic that you see below on the right. In fact the photo above and below on the left is the weapon that I have put together from that very relic. We have grafted the knuckle bow and quillon from Small Sword No. 2 on to the relic and matched it with the pommel that would be Small Sword No. 9. Of course the one you order will be entirely of the metal you choose whether it be brass, German silver or real silver.
Here is a side by side comparison of Small Sword No.2 and No. 10
You will notice that the shell is somewhat more shallow on No. 10. The ricasso is shorter by one centimeter and the design motif is diagonal rather than vertical. These two examples are cast in German Silver.
This weapon is available for £350.

Here is a photo, sent by a new client, of a very similar weapon.
This sword is an original in a private collection dated 1761.
Made by William Kinman of London.
If you compare this photo to the relic above I'd say it's a
pretty uncanny match. The silver makers marks on the relic are WN and a lion passant. You can just see the marks on either
side of the opening below.
