FAQs

An 18th-century hanger is a short, single-edged sword typically issued to naval personnel and infantry for close-quarters combat. Featuring a durable hilt and leather scabbard, these sidearms were designed for practicality in confined shipboard spaces.

These weapons typically featured forged carbon steel blades paired with hilts made from cast brass, iron, or silvered alloy. Grips were often wrapped in wire or textured material, while scabbards consisted of leather over a wooden core with metal mountings.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of hand-forging on the blade, hand-engraved maker marks or ordnance stamps, and natural oxidisation on the metalwork. Construction details such as peened pommel tangs and age-appropriate wear on the leather scabbard also indicate period origin.

An antique short sword can be mounted horizontally on a narrow wall space or placed as a focal accent on a library bookshelf or study desk. Mounting it inside a glass display case or shadow box provides protection while creating a curated statement piece.

Blades require a thin coat of microcrystalline wax or mineral oil to prevent rust, applied with a lint-free cloth. Leather scabbards should be stored in climate-controlled conditions away from direct heat and treated with specialised leather preserver to prevent cracking.
