1860 US Light Cavalry Saber | Officer's Model | Steel Scabbard
Elegance and Functionality Combined
This saber is not just a piece of metal; it is a piece of history. The blade is hand-forged from high-carbon steel and polished to a high sheen. Its slight curve was historically designed for effective slashing from horseback without the blade getting stuck in the target. The grip is precisely shaped, wrapped in leather, and reinforced with twisted brass wire, ensuring a firm and secure hold even when wearing gloves. The three-bar brass guard not only protects the hand but also gives the weapon its characteristic, dignified appearance.
Perfect for Reenactment and Display
Included is a steel scabbard with two suspension rings, allowing for easy attachment to a belt or saddle. Whether you display the saber on your wall as a conversation piece or use it to complete your costume for historical reenactments, it will always make a powerful impression.
Usage Warning: While this saber is referred to as "functional" for stage combat (choreography, drills), the blade is unsharpened and is not designed for full-contact fighting or cutting hard objects. This is a Class C weapon according to the classification of weapons for fencing, product without warranty! More information on classification can be found here.
