Wilkinson Sword Patterns and Blade Rubs

Wilkinson Sword Patterns & Blade Rubs

Including Index and Details 1844-1954
By Robert Wilkinson Latham

This volume brings together all the existing pattern drawings, suggested hilts, blades, scabbard mounts etc as well as belts and inscriptions and blade rubbings of the famous swordmakers from their first swords in 1844 to 1954. After that date scale drawings tended to replace the artistic work of the sword maker, etcher and pattern makers and only a few designs received full colour treatment after 1954.

Included also are examples of later swords, blade artwork for screen and lazer etching.

Fully illustrated with contemporary drawings of swords, hilts, grips, Blade Rubs and blade and badge artwork together with the full listings of blade rubs.
