Hello Jim and I forgot to give a nod toward Phil Read in my last post...Anyway out of interest I looked at https://uk.video.search.yahoo.com/yh...2a&action=view
Which is a very entertaining view by Matt Easton who compares two Spadroons of the Napolionic period and talks about sword design of this form in the context of 1896 ...What I found interesting was the style of Ivory hilt on one pattern being compared which esentially parallels in the hilt to the first sword I show on this thread (see post 5 above.) ... and which is by John Gill...that also includes his catchphrase Warranted Never to Fail...I thought to include his debate on the pros and cons of each as relevant to the Gill form. Thus members may look this up ...
Regards, Peter Hudson.
