After the Crimean War there were many changes made within British Heavy Cavalry Regiments. One of these changes was the adoption of a variation of the 1st Life Guards Sword by the 2nd Life Guards. This sword served throughout the Boer War and WWI until the regiments were amalgamated in 1922. It still serves today as the official state sword of the Life Guards. The polished blade has been forged from EN9 steel and has been well tempered.
