The first with curved blade (some rust patination) fullered along the back for most of its length on each side, hilt with recurved double shell-guard, the outer cast with a stylised lion's head, downbent rear quillon, knuckle-guard, and two-piece grip in Ceylonese kastana style indented for the fingers, cast with foliage along the back, and with monster-head pommel; the second with blade of similar form to the last and stamped with the running fox mark and initials of Samuel Harvey of Birmingham on each side, hilt with heart-shaped guard engraved 'M = Cumberland' and '5' over '56', two side-bars swept-up to join the knuckle-guard, globular pommel, and writhen grip (2)
69.3 cm. and 63.4 cm. blades

Footnotes

A group of related hangers to the first are in the Royal Armouries, Leeds, and may perhaps be identified with those ordered for 'matrosses' in 1692. See A.R. Dufty, European Swords And Daggers In The Tower of London, 1974, p. 28, pl. 67a
