Originally copied from an earlier French issue saber and manufactured in the North and in Europe for the lads in blue. It evokes the unflinching bravery of Antietam, Manassas, Gettysburg.
Our excellent reproduction is hand-made and ready for use. The hand-forged blade of the M-1860 Light Cavalry Saber is British military spec steel that will flex over 20° and return to true. The leather handle is wire wrapped. The curving blade is superbly designed for penetration (thrust) and as a slashing weapon. A stout steel scabbard completes this legendary sword. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts and comes factory sharp.
