Description
This replica 1908 Pattern Cavalry Sword has an unsharpened blade of high carbon steel. The blade has manufacture, inspection and issue markings that denote it a replica of a sword that was issued in the Australian Cavalry. The guard and pommel are of steel and the grip is of hard-molded plastic to replicate the original ??Bakelite?? grip which was made from an early plastic – it has a raised diamond pattern for a grip. The scabbard is of steel. The large, bowl-like guard gives excellent protection to the hand without making the sword heavy and the ergonomic, pistol-like grip has a groove for the thumb on the top of the grip to maximize point and direction control of the blade. The weighted pommel helps to balance the blade, keeping it quick and maneuverable.
