Swords in the Mexican Revolution 1910-1921

[Jim McDougall]

THANK YOU GLEN!!!
Yes the 'militaria' stuff 20th c. is pretty much verboten, and I had always been curious whether the 1913 Patton had made it on Pershing's expedition chasing Villa in Mexico since Patton was with him. But that was the singular element of military swords I was interested in.

Its the many forms of swords and edged weapons in use by the factions of Revolutionaries as well as forces with Federal troops. through 1925.

This is a great example you show! and it seems there were many such unusual compositions using old briquet hilts.

This is one I found with cut down old dragoon blade from 18th c. with three bar cavalry hilt and the BRIQUET hilt. Blacksmiths in remote little towns were very creative and everything was recycled and used as required.

Thanks so much again Glen!
