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

It features and enclosed basket hilt made up of a number of interlinked bars, a leather wrapped grip and a long double-edged high carbon steel blade (blunt). Comes complete with leather wrapped wooden scabbard with metal fittings.

Light Cavalry refers to lightly armed troops whose major tasks were reconnaissance, screening, skirmishing, raiding, and communications. They used to carry a light sword like this. This Light Cavalry sword found its use mainly around 1796. It has a curved blade, which makes it easy to be carried around the waist while riding on the horse.

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

This replica scabbard is crafted from leather and fits our British Infantry Officers Sabre - 1897 Pattern (Sam Browne Scabbard).

Please note: These replacement scabbards are designed to fit our replica swords. Antique swords come in a variety of shapes and sizes and there is no guarantee that our replica scabbards will fit them.

Regiment musicians in the Victorian British Army and the volunteer regiments carried their own short sword as a defensive sidearm. Though these are typically referred to as a sword, these Bugler’s Swords have a size and length that is more like a large dirk or a smaller short sword in size. There were several variants in the 19th century and these followed a Neo-Gothic styling complete with the cypher of the reigning monarch at the guard.

This replica has a blade of 1055 high carbon steel which is solidly mounted and peened into a hilt of finely cast brass. It is paired with a thick leather sheath which is completed with brass fittings.
