After the Crimean War there were many changes made within British Heavy Cavalry Regiments. One of these changes was the adoption of a variation of the 1st Life Guards Sword by the 2nd Life Guards. This sword served throughout the Boer War and WWI until the regiments were amalgamated in 1922. It still serves today as the official state sword of the Life Guards. The polished blade has been forged from EN9 steel and has been well tempered.

The 1845 Pattern British Light Cavalry Sabre featured a similar hilt to its earlier predecessor from 1822, but featured a radically different blade. The earlier Pipe-backed blades were unpopular, the blades were poor at cutting, parrying heavier blades and their asymmetrical tips made effective thrusting difficult. The revised 1845 Wilkinson style blade was stiffer with a spear point tip that was perfect for thrusting, and featured thicker edges for parrying the heavier swords wielded by the horsemen of India.

Our British Light Cavalry Sabre features a tempered AISI 1065 high-carbon steel blade. The steel hilt features a leather wrapped wooden grip wrapped with twisted steel wire. The scabbard is constructed from steel and featured 2 integrated hanging rings.
