Product description

The 1908 cavalry sword was the last service sword issued as standard to the British Army's cavalry forces — this at a time when mounted charges were largely obsolete and swords were little used as combat weapons. It was, however, widely regarded as the finest cavalry sword ever designed, and was still in use during the First World War. The 1908 model and the more refined 1912 officer model are still employed as the ceremonial sword of the British, Australian and Canadian cavalry regiments. Whilst this lightweight sword could still deliver effective blows, it was clearly designed primarily for stabbing from horseback and could reportedly reach the reach of a lance when held at full arm's length. The basket afforded excellent protection to the hand, whilst the pommel balanced the sabre. The ergonomic pistol-style handle provided a firm, comfortable grip and control, and automatically positioned the point. A nimble, light, and fast weapon. It could be attached to a saddle, belt or bandolier and thus easily transported. This replica is crafted from EN45 spring steel and comes with a black steel scabbard with carrying rings.
