British Heavy Cavalry Sword - 1788 Pattern
Our 1788 Pattern Heavy Cavalry Sword is a replica of the original swords of the late 18th century carried by such notable regiments as the Prince of Wales’s Regiment of Dragoon Guards, the Inniskilling Dragoons and the 2nd Irish Horse (5th 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.
