  British Pattern 1788 Heavy Cavalry Sword

  Light Cavalry Sword – British Pattern 1821

  SKU: AH3215N

  The British Pattern 1821 Light Cavalry Sword was the standard sidearm of the British light cavalry — hussars, lancers and light dragoons — through one of the most dramatic periods in British military history. From post-Napoleonic garrison duty through the Indian campaigns and the Crimean War, it was the blade at the hip of the most romantically celebrated soldiers of the Victorian era.

  French Infantry Briquet, 1831 Pattern

  SKU: AH3206N

  British Pattern 1796 Light Cavalry Sabre

  SKU: AH3317

  One of the most recognisable sabres of the Napoleonic Wars, designed by cavalry officer John Gaspard Le Marchant after he grew frustrated with the clumsy, over-long swords British light cavalry carried into the Low Countries campaign of 1793–95.

  Pattern 1912 British Cavalry Officer’s Sword

  Enfield Sword Bayonet

  SKU: AH3554

  Pattern 1908 British Cavalry Sword

  SKU: AH3481N

  Often called the most effective cavalry sword ever designed, the Pattern 1908 was the last service sword ever issued to British cavalry — built purely for the thrust from horseback, arriving just as swords themselves were becoming obsolete on the battlefield.

  British Light Cavalry Sword, Post-Napoleonic Pattern

  SKU: AH3214

  A British light cavalry sword reflecting the post-Napoleonic Wars shift toward ‘cut and thrust’ patterns — a deliberate compromise design succeeding the purely cut-focused 1796 sabre once battlefield experience showed the value of a genuine thrusting capability too.
