Perhaps the most commonly asked question about our range of British Military Swords, British Cavalry Swords & British Navy Swords is “How are you able to sell them so cheaply?” Many of the long established British manufacturers sell the equivalent swords for up to 4 times the price of ours, so how are we able to keep our prices so low?
Our range of swords including our British Military Swords, British Cavalry Swords & British Navy Swords are made in India. India have a long tradition of making swords for the British Military. During the Indian Mutiny, some British Officers noticed that their swords were of inferior quality to the ones made by Indian smiths and had their swords refitted with Indian made blades. All of the blades on our British Military Swords are hand forged using similar techniques to those used on their historical counterparts.
As swords are rarely used in military parades these days, demand has dwindled and prices have soared. The specialist companies that are still making swords for the British Military, usually source the parts from India and assemble them in the UK. Our range of swords is made by skilled craftsmen in India, resulting in a much lower product cost than having them assembled in the UK.
Our swords are faithful replicas of originals. The fit and finish is not quite to the same standard of the domestically manufactured equivalents, but this is only apparent to the trained eye. As such they represent excellent value for money. Many of these swords are gifted from father to son/daughter upon graduation from officer training or are given as gifts to retiring military personnel.

British Cavalry Officer Sword - 1908 Pattern
The 1908 Pattern Cavalry Trooper's Sword was the last service sword issued to the cavalry of the British Army. It is widely considered the most effective cavalry sword ever designed, although ironically its introduction occurred as swords finally became obsolete as military weapons. This sword has a forged steel blade which has not been tempered so we would only recommend it for display only. Steel guard, wood grip and steel scabbard (painted green).
