Napoleon's cavalry was the bane of the European battlefield. While his horses were second string, his swords were absolutely first rate. They were manufactured in a state of the art factory dedicated to producing the finest edged weapons of the day. In fact, it was so popular that it remained in use long after Napoleon's star had fallen and was wielded by both sides in our own Civil War.
Our interpretation of this medium weight saber is a fine cavalry trooper's weapon. It possess excellent cutting and slashing capabilities while still remaining more than up to the task of delivering a devastating thrust.
In overall appearance, it closely resembles the United States 1860 Light Cavalry Saber. However, this design is slightly different and makes for what many consider to be a far more effective and durable weapon. The thick, moderately curved blade of our saber is forged out of 1055 Carbon steel and features a long, wide fuller and a very sharp point.
The grip of the 1830 Napoleon Saber is wrapped in black leather and protected by a stout, brass three bar hilt. The whole glorious package comes with a heavy duty polished steel scabbard with dual rings so it can be easily attached to your baldric or sword belt.
A fine display or dress sword, that is suitable for historical re-enactment while still being sharp, effective and truly battle-ready, the 1830 Napoleon Saber would make a fine edition to any sword lovers collection!
