Design and Craftsmanship
The sabre impresses above all with its richly decorated hilt. The lion's head, a symbol of courage and strength, flows seamlessly into the hand guard, which is a brass casting. The handle core is made of hardwood, ensuring stability, while the genuine cowhide leather cover provides an excellent grip. The elegantly curved blade features a fuller on both sides to reduce weight. Both the blade surface and the scabbard are highly polished, creating the mirror effect typical of ceremonial parade weapons.

Historical Context and Use
Lion-headed sabres became popular throughout Europe, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries. The lion, as the "king of beasts," symbolized monarchical power and military prowess. These weapons were often carried by infantry and naval officers as a badge of rank. Due to its decorative nature, this specific replica is ideal for re-enactment, theatrical performances, or as a luxurious accessory to a historical uniform. As the blade is not fully sharpened and its edge is 1 mm thick, it is safe for handling within a costume context.
Safety Warning
This is a decorative product not suitable for practical use, such as HEMA fencing or stage combat. The blade is not designed for impact, and forceful contact carries a risk of damage or breakage. Always handle the sharp point and edges with maximum caution to prevent accidental injury to yourself or those around you.
Product Care
To ensure the sabre and scabbard maintain their high shine, wipe them with a dry cloth after every contact with your hands to remove aggressive sweat. We recommend occasionally treating the blade with gun oil or technical petroleum jelly. Clean the brass parts of the hilt with products designed for non-ferrous metals. Never leave the product in a damp environment and do not expose it to extreme temperatures, which could damage the leather on the handle.
