Product description

The cavalry sword from 1908 was the last service sword that was standard issued to the cavalry troops of the British Army - at a time when mounted attacks were largely obsolete and swords were rarely used as combat weapons. However, it was widely regarded as the best cavalry sword ever designed and was still in use during the First World War. The 1908 model and the more refined officers' model from 1912 are still used as the ceremonial sword of the British, Australian and Canadian cavalry regiments. Although this lightweight sword could still deliver effective blows, it was clearly designed primarily for stabbing from horseback and would allegedly be able to achieve the reach of a lance when held with a fully extended arm. The basket offered excellent protection to the hand and the pommel balanced the sabre. The ergonomic pistol-like grip provided a good and comfortable grip and control and brought the point automatically into position. A nimble, light and fast weapon. You could attach it to a saddle, belt or baldric and transport it easily in this way. This replica features a blade of 9260 spring steel and comes with a steel scabbard with carrying rings.
