British Light Cavalry Sabre - 1796 Pattern

Famed for its use by Britain’s Light Dragoons and Hussars during the Peninsular War and Waterloo, this sword was also supplied to the Prussian Cavalry in great numbers and even found favour in the USA.

This design was suggested for British service by cavalry officer John Gaspard Le Marchant, who believed cavalry swords should be light and have a curved, slashing blade. The long curved blade has been forged from AISI 1065 High Carbon Steel and has been well tempered.

Outstanding reproduction for the price.Review by Andrew

Outstanding reproduction for the price. Nice solid feel. I just love the business like design of this classic weapon. I understand the French considered this weapon barbaric because of the type of slashing rather than thrusting wounds it caused. Delivery to NZ was super fast. Very happy purchaser.
