Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Smallsword hallmarked for 1694-95 French, Paris; blade, German By the early seventeenth century, the rapier, a long slender thrusting sword, began to dominate as the gentlemans weapon of choice. During the course of the century, however, as civilian fencing techniques became more specialized and refined, the rapier developed into a lighter, trimmed-down weapon known by about 1700 as the smallsword. Smallswords, often richly decorated, remained an integral part of a gentlemans wardrobe until the wearing of swords in civilian settings went out of fashion at the end of the eighteenth century, at which time pistols were replacing swords as arms most frequently used in personal duels. The majority of smallsword hilts are made of silver or steel, but many also employ a wide variety of luxurious materials, such as gold, porcelain, and enamel. At their best, smallswords combine the crafts of swordsmith, cutler, and jeweler to create an elegant weapon that was also a wearable work of art..

Designed for cut-and-thrust fencing of progressively complex techniques, the rapier is characterized by a double-edged blade with an acute point and an elaborate guard for the hand. The guards, usually of iron or steel, were subject to a variety of embellishment. They were engraved, chiseled, gilded, damascened, and encrusted in gold and silver in keeping with fashionable styles. Unless otherwise noted, the materials, attributions, and dating given here refer to the hilts.

SwordsFlintlock Repeating Pistol with Lorenzoni Action, Bearing the Crests of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805), with Case and Accessories ca. 1798-99 Harvey Walklate Mortimer Harvey Walklate Mortimer, gunmaker to George III (1730-1820), took special interest in the repeating mechanism thought to have been invented by the Florentine gunmaker Michele Lorenzoni (d. 1733) over one hundred years earlier. Complex internally, the Lorenzoni system allows for up to ten successive shots that fed from a magazine concealed inside the grip. A one-hundred-eighty degree turn of the lever forward and back reloaded, primed, and cocked the pistol. Mortimers Lorenzoni-type firearms, meticulously constructed, reflect his admiration of, and desire to update and refine, a successful design from the past.

From the late 16th century on, members of the nobility often hunted deer with pistols while giving chase on horseback with a pack of hounds.
