Period c 1770

This is a device for the suspension of a spadroon or smallsword from the owner's hip. They were worn in Britain, Europe and America from approximately 1770-1820. This particular example is fairly plain with some irregularities in the hanging chain work, suggesting contemporary modification. They are quite rare.

Just letting you know that the whistle arrived here this morning safe and sound. Your excellent packaging was still totally intact and it took me all of five minutes to break into it to see my purchase. I am very pleased, it is a great whistle.
