The 1897 pattern British Infantry Officer's sword (DG-B2), developed towards the end of the reign of Queen Victoria, is the pattern still carried today. The three-quarter basket and finely etched 32" blade both carry the cipher of Edward VII. This very well made sword is ideal for the military re-enactor.
The American Revolutionary War Sword (1079-GT) is patterned after a piece in a private collection, and was possibly carried by an infantry sergeant. Its very sturdy brass hilt was probably American made and mounted to a German blade, as were many swords of the revolution. The original scabbard has not survived, but the steel and brass scabbard supplied was commonly used. Blade length is 27-1/2", overall length 33-1/2".
The 1796 pattern British Light Cavalry Sabre (DG-G8) saw service in the Battle of Waterloo, where it had also been adopted by the Prussian allies of the British under Blucher, whose name has become synonymous with the sword. The pattern was also adopted, with a blackened scabbard, by the U.S. Dragoons for the War of 1812. This handsome piece is well constructed - a must for Napoleonic Wars re-enactors and collectors.
