This saber was widely
used by the British and their Prussian allies under General Blucher
in the Battle of Waterloo. The blade was derived from the ferocious
Indian Talwar and was reviled by the French who protested its
use due to the horribly destructive wounds it inflicted. In fact,
this saber was so successful as a cutting weapon, that the German
Cavalry continued to use it right up to the beginning of the
20th century!
If you want a combat quality saber that will
pass the British Proof Test and is fully capable of shearing
off arms and even legs with a single blow, this is a must have!
It comes fully sharpened with a wood and leather scabbard with
steel mounts.
The 1796 Light Cavalry Saber comes with your
choice of an all steel scabbard or a wood/leather scabbard. Both
versions feature steel mounts and fittings.
