Product description

The 1912 cavalry sabre was the very last sword issued to British Army cavalry officers — at a time when horse attacks were largely obsolete and swords were rarely used as a combat weapon. It was considered the finest cavalry sword ever designed and was still in use during the First World War. The 1912 model was clearly based on the 1908 model, but was considerably more elaborately decorated. When first introduced, it was issued to all officers to replace the inconsistent swords they had previously acquired privately. Compared to the standard sword, the grip was more ingeniously designed: whilst the standard 1908 version for ordinary soldiers was equipped with a grip crafted from rubber or Bakelite, in the officer version these materials were replaced by shark leather with nickel silver thread inlay. In addition, the basket was decorated in the style of 19th-century officer's swords with an etched floral engraving (honeysuckle motif). The 1912 model is still employed as a ceremonial sword by British, Australian and Canadian cavalry units. This attractive, modestly priced replica from Deepeeka has a straight, single-edged blade constructed from spring steel EN45, which features a fuller over approximately two-thirds of its length. The grip with a wooden core is wrapped in black leather and twisted steel wire. A fine sabre for collectors and 20th-century reenactment.
