Description
This recreated French Royal Cavalry Sword is a sword with the finely detailed hilt that royal regiments enjoyed. It has the long straight blade favored by heavy cavalry – a sword that could be used like a lance in the charge. The spine of the blade bears the dated 1814 signature of the Klingenthal manufactory – the favored swordmaker of France during both the Monarchy and the Napoleonic Empire. The base of the blade is stamped with period production and inspection markings.
The unsharpened blade is crafted from tempered high carbon steel and the elaborate hilt is of cast brass with a blackened cross design on the swept hilt guard. The grip is covered in tight black leather and is overlaid with spiralled brass wire. The wood-core scabbard is overlaid with black leather and has brass accents with brass hanging rings.
