Description
This American Civil War Cavalry Sabre Sword is a faithful reproduction of the type wielded by mounted troops during the conflict that shaped a nation. Measuring 40 inches overall, with a 35-inch blade forged from carbon steel, it embodies the balance and reach cavalrymen depended upon in battle.
The blade is polished to a bright sheen, a sign of careful grinding and finishing that not only resists rust but also allows the edge to cut true. The handle is wrapped in leather, providing a firm grip that helps the rider maintain control during swift maneuvers. Brass fittings, including a curved handguard and a rounded pommel, offer protection for the hand while adding a gleam typical of the period’s cavalry arms.
The accompanying scabbard is crafted from nickel-plated steel, built to shield the blade from the elements. Lanyard rings attached to the scabbard allowed troopers to secure the sword to their saddles or belts, ensuring it stayed close at hand during the chaos of battle. Whether mounted on a wall or carried in a reenactment, this sabre recalls the grit and skill of the Civil War cavalryman.
