This replica of the British Royal Artillery Gunners Sword has a blade forged from 1055 high carbon steel; replicated at the base of the spine are the manufacturer's markings as seen on an original example (DAWES BIRMM – William and Samuel Dawes of Birmingham). The hilt is crafted from brass and the wooden grip is bound in black leather. The sword is paired with a leather scabbard complete with a brass chape and locket.

This British Royal Artillery Sword was the sidearm of British Artillery crews in the early 1800s and these swords saw action in the Peninsular War, Waterloo, and the War of 1812. Unique for its wide and straight-bladed design, the sword was likely inspired by the French Imperial Guard Infantry Sword. The United States would borrow heavily from the design of this British sword when creating their own US Light Artilleryman's Saber during the War of 1812 which essentially was a marginally modified hilt design coupled with a curved saber blade.

This sword is a must for fans of Bernard Cornwell’s “Sharpe”! Army regulations specified that the swords for officers of the Rifle Corps was to be ‘a sabre similar to the Light Cavalry’. The 1796 sabre was clearly too long and the result was the 1803 Pattern Regimental Sabre.

This sword is based on an original in the National Army Museum. The original blade has faded evidence of complex etching, this has not been replicated on our tempered AISI 1065 high carbon steel blade. The brass, nickel-plated hilt features a wood grip wrapped in black leather with a steel wire overlay. It is also etched with the number 95, alluding to the 95^th Rifles Regiment. The pure buff hardened leather scabbard has steel fittings and suspension rings. It is based on a watercolour print from 1812 showing an officer of the 95^th wearing a scabbard of this configuration.

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.
