Description
Details
The 1796 Heavy Cavalry Sword was based on the Austrian 1775 pattern sword and was used by British Heavy Cavalry regiments such as the Dragoon Guards. The large blade had incredible cutting power but was cumbersome to use. It is perhaps most famous as the sword used by Richard Sharpe of the 95th Rifles in the series of books written by Bernard Cornwell. The polished blade has been forged from EN9 steel and has been well tempered.

- Superb quality reproductionReview by Del

I’m really impressed with the quality and standard of this sword. It’s well put together and arrived in immaculate condition. Edge is totally blunt as supplied and there is a lot of oil and grease to preserve it in transit. It’s a weighty item but surprisingly agile when held correctly, but needs a degree of strength in the forearm ! A nice piece for anyone interested in the period and a good pair for the 1796 light cavalry sabre. (Posted on 12/01/2023)Value Quality Price - ExcellentReview by Ney
