Pre-WW1 British Pattern 1821 Canadian Artillery Officer's Sword โ€“ no Scabbard
Pre-WW1 British Pattern 1821 Canadian Artillery Officer's Sword โ€“ no Scabbard Savage and Lyman Montreal Sword This company name was used by the Montreal silversmiths Savage and Lyman between 1868-1878. The left side of the blade immediately in front of the guard Is marked Savage & Lyman Montreal Within the engraving on the left side is a Crown.ย  Believed to be indicative of Queen Victoria. The right side of the blade has a small brass insert which says PROOF.ย  Wilkinson Sword introduced these Proof Discs in 1844. In the engraving on the right side of the blade is the word ARTILLERY The guard is steel and has fish skin wire bound grips with most of the fish skin having been worn away. ย  Length of Sword โ€“ 40 1/2โ€ Length of Grip including the Guard โ€“ 5 1/2โ€ Blade Length โ€“ 34 1/2โ€ ย  Savage & Lyman Montreal (or Savage & Lyman and Company) were manufacturers and suppliers of swords, known for military pattern swords like those for Canadian militia units (e.g., 1st Battalion Chasseurs Canadiens), marking them as producers/sellers, though like many firms, they likely had blades forged elsewhere (perhaps by specialists like J. Martin in Montreal) and then finished, hilted, proofed, and sold by Savage & Lyman in Montreal, a common practice for armsmakers then.ย  Key Points: Evidence of Manufacturing: Swords clearly marked "SAVAGE & LYMAN MONTREAL" exist in museum collections, showing they were a recognized name in arms. Role: They functioned as an arms dealer and supplier, customizing and selling weapons for Canadian military and militia. Production vs. Supply: While they might not have forged every single blade from raw steel in-house, they were responsible for the final product, including proofing and adding their own markings, as seen on a 1885 Chasseurs Canadiens sword. In short, they were a key player in the Montreal arms trade, making/selling quality military swords, even if blade forging was sometimes outsourced to other specialized smiths.ย  ย  $500.00 Or Best Offer ย  Thanks,ย  Phil
