Product description

This sabre is a replica of French originals that appeared in 1801 in the army of Napoleon Bonaparte. Despite the declining effectiveness of armor and the increasing effectiveness of firearms, the French cavalry in Napoleon's army still wore armor - breastplates and backplates in medieval style - with mixed success. They were slightly useful in deflecting musket and pistol fire at long range. Combined with an ornate helmet with plumes and horse hair tails, the armor of the Cuirassier created an imposing appearance when charging into the fray. Surviving accounts from British opponents testify to the paralyzing spectacle of compact groups of Cuirassiers emerging from behind French front lines. This is his sword; the French Model 1801 Cuirassier's sword is a heavy cavalry sword with a straight blade, because the French preferred the thrust over slashing or cutting. This replica weighs slightly more than 1.36 kg and had considerable mass needed for a lance-like thrusting attack. The distally tapered blade is more than 0.63 cm thick at the grip and has double fullers like the originals. It has a brass crossguard and pommel. The grip is wrapped in leather and with steel wire.
