British Heavy Cavalry Sword - 1796 Pattern

£183.33

The 1796 Heavy Cavalry Sword was based on the Austrian 1775 pattern sword and was used by British Heavy Cavalry regiments such as the Dragoon Guards. The large blade had incredible cutting power but was cumbersome to use. It is perhaps most famous as the sword used by Richard Sharpe of the 95th Rifles in the series of books written by Bernard Cornwell.

The polished blade has been forged from AISI 1065 High Carbon Steel and has been well tempered.

Anyone who’s seen ‘Sharpe’ knows this piece. An exquisitely realised replica, impressive to see and hold. Quality is top-notch. This was a back order, and the store was great throughout its course with updates, and finally with rapid dispatch and delivery. I’m exceedingly happy to have it in my nascent collection!
