14677Mid- 19th Century Tulwar fighting sword. The Tulwar was used by Muslim adversaries from Persia Iran Afghanistan and Northern India. It was both a cavalry and infantry weapon. The Tulwar had historically been the quintessential combat sword due to its superior handling while mounted on horseback. With a curved blade optimized for cutting and slashing with sweeping cuts delivered from the shoulder by a horseman without the danger of the blade getting stuck in bone or armor. It allowed for fierce slashing on all sides cutting through enemy formations while mounted on horseback. The sheaths were made with two very thin wood plates covered in fabric which explains their short life and absence here. This particular tulwar has a hand forged curved steel blade and steel handle with a disk shaped pommel. Dated to the mid- 19th century. Overall length 33".

198661769bdLincoln Rhode Island: Andrew Mowbray Incorporated 1986. First Edition. Octavo orange cloth hardcover 119 pp viii pp ads. Fine in a Fine mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: Based on American design the British-made Enfield rifle was one of the most handsome and effective military arms of its day. While large quantities of these highly regarded rifles were imported by both North and South during the American Civil War it was in the hands of the weapons-starved Confederacy that the Enfield was to see its greatest moment. Southern blockade runners cargoed shipments of these arms right up to the last days of the great rebellion. The international intrigue the historical personalities and much of the personal correspondence that accompanied the traffic of Enfields to the C.S.A. is carefully chronicled on these pages by author Wiley Sword a rapidly rising authority on American military subjects. Additionally collectors will benefit from the author’s theories regarding identification of those Enfields that saw Confederate service -- long a matter of argument and conjecture among arms historians. Another weapons with strong romatnic/historical attachments to the South was the technically remarkable LeMat revolver. Although this rare pistol quickly established itself in notoriety little has been published regarding the manner in which the LeMat reached its Confederate market. New research presented here will prove of interest to many students of the times. As a bonus information regarding a variety of other Confederate small arms is presented within the appendixes.
