In fact, one of his earliest memories was holding a smallsword when he was four years old. The sword was in the collection of his uncle, the British adventure novelist Jeffery Farnol, a noted collector of edged weapons. This sword, still a cherished part of the Oakeshott Collection, is a practice smallsword dating about 1690 with an ormolu (literally, "ground gold") hilt and a square-sectioned rebated blade marked "Tomas Ayala." Under his uncle's guidance, a young Ewart would help clean and maintain the collection. In this setting, his life-long study and love of the sword was kindled. So profound was this influence on him that Oakeshott endeavored throughout his collecting career to reacquire pieces formerly in his uncle's collection." (from myArmoury).
