British/American, 18th Century - Napoleonic Era, Rare 1786 Pattern Officer’s Five Ball Spadroon

Approximate Measurements: 81.2cm blade, 96.2cm

Straight single-edged spadroon with 3/4 large fuller that runs almost to the spear point tip. Reeded bone grip with brass pommel and scarce and very desirable 5 ball cross bar. The pillow tang stands proud and is secured by a round nut.

The British Officer’s 5 Ball Spadroon was introduced in the 1780’s and was the first attempt at a uniform pattern sword for the British Military. It was called the 5 Ball Spadroon because of the decoration on the guard. This sword style was popular for both Infantry and Naval Officers and there were a number of variations of the pattern in use. It was even adopted by the French and American Military for a very brief 30 year period between 1790 and 1820 with Naval and military officers before regulation swords became prevalent.

Condition
Very good used condition. There is a hole in the pommel and a hole corresponding hole in the cross bar that would have taken the 5 ball knuckle guard. The blade has lost some of its blueing but is in good condition with no pitting. All the sword’s fittings are tight. There is no scabbard. Please see photographs as part of the condition report.
