Looking for a Battle Ready 1796 U.S. Cavalry Saber
There are two kinds of the U.S. Cavalry Sabers, namely the light and heavy kind. The light variety, as opposed to the heavy kind, was actually based on other European swords such as the Indian Talwar and was used by the British and Prussian during the battle of Waterloo. This class of saber was also made us of by the Germans and their cavalry until the 20th century. Cold Steel’s battle ready 1796 U.S. Cavalry Saber is actually a replica of the military light saber mentioned above. This flawless quality sword has a 33-inch blade with a 4 ¾-inch long handle, amounting to about 37-inches in overall length.
If you are looking for a high quality and battle ready military sword, then the 1796 U.S. Cavalry Saber is the right one for you. The way this sword was tempered resulted to a blade that could pass the British proof test. While it is fully sharpened and comes with either a wooden or steel scabbard, this sword can also be a fine addition to your Civil war swords collection.
