Description
This Artillery Officer’s Sword replica measures 40 inches in total length, featuring a 35-inch blade forged from carbon steel. The blade gleams with a polished finish, a result of careful grinding and buffing to bring out the steel’s natural strength and resilience. The handle is wrapped in leather, offering a firm grip that molds comfortably to the wielder’s hand. Brass fittings adorn the hilt, including a bright, sculpted hand guard and a matching pommel that not only protect the hand but also add a touch of elegance typical of officer’s swords. The wire wrapping along the hilt reinforces the grip and reflects the craftsmanship of the period.
The scabbard is crafted from steel plated with nickel, designed to guard the blade from the elements while the lanyard rings allow it to be secured to a belt or uniform. This combination of materials and design echoes the practical needs and style of cavalry officers during the 19th century.
