  • Napoleonic French Hussar Saber

    Adept scouts and light cavalrymen, Napoleons Hussars could be counted upon to fight with speed and severity wherever they were deployed. Their attitude and fighting style derived from the original Hussars of Hungary and Poland in centuries past who perfected light cavalry tactics in their conflicts with the Turks. Their successes inspired a type of light cavalryman who could be seen in many European armies by the Napoleonic era, all following a rough outline of Hungarian-inspired dress, large moustaches, cavalier demeanor and arms.

    Understandably, the public romanticized the dashing, exotic image of the charging Hussar. This French Hussar saber is similar to other Hussar and cavalry sabers of the period who share a common ancestor in the Polish-Hungarian Szabla. After centuries of mounted warfare, the Szabla became the Hussar saber, ideally evolved for light cavalry combat. Its characteristic curve allowed for deathly sweeping slashes from on high. Its design highly influenced the British 1796 Light Cavalry Saber – a design destined to spread throughout the continent and to the United States.
