1796 Light Cavalry Saber with Scabbard

But this is more than just an historically inspired showpiece - it's a high-quality modern saber that is fully capable of passing the famous British Proof Test for quality and durability.

It comes with a fully sharpened forward edge and your choice of a wood and leather scabbard with steel mounts and fittings or a traditional all-steel scabbard.

1055 High Carbon Steel
