GROUP OF VICTORIAN COPIES OF MEDIEVAL WEAPONS AND COURT SWORD. You are bidding on three wonderful weapons that would definitely cause a lot of harm if used. As seen in photos, one “weapon” with a 26″ handle has a chain attached to a 12-barbed swinging club. Another 27″ all metal “weapon” exhibits metal ball with 10 small steel spikes and a central large steel spike mounted on a 5-pointed brass star. This last “club” is a 26″ long 6-bladed mace with inlaid silver decorations reminiscent of the Middle East. To round out this lot there is a 18th century court sword decorated with blue cut glass. Blade is colichemarde with blue and gold decoration. Accompanying red leather scabbard has a tin throat and tip. PROVENANCE: H.H. Thomas Collection. CONDITION: The three metal maces overall very good. Smooth metal surfaces with scattered rust and pitting. The court sword is missing about 1/3 of its oval guard, one quillon and 1/2 of its pas-d’ane. Several stones are also missing. The throat to scabbard appears original, however leather body and tip are modern restorations. 4-36663, 4-36665 JS53 (1,000-2,000)
