When the British Army standardized the swords to be carried by infantry officers in 1796 this is the sword they settled on; a spadroon-like cut-and-thrust sword with simple, but elegant Georgian styling that hearkened back to the Smallswords carried by gentlemen in earlier times. In just four years following, the blade was at the hip of practically all British Line Infantry Officers. Regardless of the standardization of form, the blades varied in their width and in their engraved decoration.

Though widespread, it was not regarded as a good combat blade despite being used through the entirety of Britain’s contests with France in the Napoleonic Era. It would not be officially replaced until 1822 by the more elaborate ‘’Gothic-Hilted’’ sword and before then many officers had opted to acquire the 1803 Pattern sabre instead.

This reproduction of a British infantrymans hanger is based on an extant example dating to 1760. These British brass-hilted swords were heavily influenced by French and German hangers from the continent as evidenced by its half-basket hilt with a heart shaped guard. The hanger sword is designed for close-in fighting – the blade is an ideal length for a close-quarters scrum.

This Hanger sword has a blade of 1055 high carbon steel peened to a hilt of brass. Its companion scabbard is crafted from sturdy leather with chape and throat pieces of brass.

This sabre was introduced in 1803 and proved a popular replacement for the 1796 Infantry Sword. It was readily adopted by Light Infantry and Rifle Officers who were much more likely to skirmish with the enemy than their Line Infantry counterparts. The design proved popular and it was adopted by flank companies of the Royal Marines and some Royal Navy officers as well.

The polished blade has been forged from AISI 1065 High Carbon Steel and has been well tempered.

The 1845 Pattern British Infantry Officer's Sword is a modified version of the 1822 pattern sword, the basic difference being a new style of blade. This sword saw action in many throughout the great period of Victorian military campaigns – the Second Sikh War, the Crimea, the Indian Mutiny, the Maori Wars, the Ashanti Expedition, the Zulu War, the Second Afghan War and the Egyptian and Sudan Campaigns of 1882-5. This sword was not replaced in the British Army until 1897.

Our British Infantry Officer's Sword features a tempered AISI 1065 high carbon steel blade with etched decoration featuring a “VRI” cypher.
