British Heavy Cavalry Sword - 1788 Pattern

DAMAGE: Due to a manufacturing issue, the paint on the guard is flaking in parts but could be sanded and refinished.  

Our 1788 Pattern Heavy Cavalry Sword is a replica of the original swords of the late 18^th century carried by such notable regiments as the Prince of Wales’s Regiment of Dragoon Guards, the Inniskilling Dragoons and the 2^nd Irish Horse (5^th Dragoon Guards). Whilst a sword of this size and weight would be effective in a charge, cavalry troopers often bemoaned its cumbersome handling and the brittleness of the blade.

It features and enclosed basket hilt made up of a number of interlinked bars, a leather wrapped grip and a long double-edged high carbon steel blade (blunt). Comes complete with leather wrapped wooden scabbard with metal fittings.
