Product description
This beautiful and graceful sword was used by Napoleon's Hussar regiments, light cavalry units on fast horses specializing in reconnaissance and skirmishes. Designed for speed, the curved blade is suitable for slashing but is also thick enough to perform a thrusting attack. Like the originals, the spine of the blade is etched with "Mfture Impale du Klingenthal Octobre 1813" (the first two words are abbreviations for "Manufacture Impériale"). The basket guard, pommel, and spine of the blade are made of solid brass, just like the original sword.

This item is produced in limited quantities only. This means that every piece is unique. Sizes & finish may vary lightly from piece to piece.
Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
