112 A RARE DRAGOON OFFICER'S ‘FIELD’ OR FIGHTING SWORD, ATTRIBUTABLE TO 11TH DRAGOONS, CIRCA 1768-83 with tapering blade of regulation type, double-edged towards the point, engraved on each side with the crowned Royal <strong>arms</strong> enclosed by the Garter above the Royal motto and inscription ‘London', stamped ‘Bland’ on the back-edge, steel hilt comprising half basket-guard formed of numerous flattened moulded bars, stamped with the owner's name ‘R. Dundas’ beneath, finely chiselled maned lion's head pommel, and original spirally-bound sharkskin-covered grip 83.5cm; 32 Pin blade The form of the hilt of this sword is comparable to that of several recorded swords with dateable silver hilts, a particular example being a Dragoon officer's sword with hilt by William Kinman, hallmarked London 1775-76, in the National War Museum of Scotland (M.1996.40) on which the finely-chiselled lion's head pommel is remarkably similar to that of this sword. This sword was probably retailed by Bland and so cannot pre-date 1768; the regiment to which it is confidently attributed became Light Dragoons in 1783, after which the officers and men would have carried light cavalry swords. Ralph Dundas was born in Scotland circa 1730 and commissioned cornet by purchase in 4th Dragoons on 30th May 1755. Promoted lieutenant by purchase on 26th January 1758, he served as adjutant 24th August 1758 to 20th January 1762 before purchasing a captaincy in 11th Dragoons on 12th February 1762. Having served in Germany in the last year of the Seven Years’ War, Dundas was placed on half-pay on 25th April 1763, upon the reduction of his regiment following the coming of peace. On 16th September 1763, he exchanged from half pay back to a captaincy in 11th Dragoons and purchased the regiment's majority on 6th June 1770. Promoted lieutenantcolonel by brevet on 11th September 1775, he purchased the regimental lieutenant-colonelcy on 27th September 1775 and was promoted colonel by brevet on 16th May 1782 - the 11th becoming Light Dragoons in 1783. Promoted major general on 28th April 1790, he commanded a heavy cavalry brigade in Flanders in 1794 and was made colonel of 8th (or the King's) Regiment of Foot on 30th July 1794. Promoted lieutenant-general on 26th January 1797, he was appointed to command the Midland District in Ireland and served throughout the Irish Rebellion of 1798, initially with distinction at Kilcullen in May but subsequently attracting criticism because of his lenient attitude to surrendered rebels. He was promoted general on 29th April 1802 and died in London on 7th February 1814, having been governor of Duncannon Fort, Co. Wexford, since at least 1802. £1500-2000 112 51
