1830 Napoleon Saber

Napoleon's cavalry was the bane of the European battlefield. While his horses were second string, his swords were absolutely first-rate. They were manufactured in a state-of-the-art factory dedicated to producing the finest edged weapons of the day. The medium-weight saber Cold Steel offers is the cavalry trooper's chosen weapon. It possesses excellent cutting and slashing capability and still remains useful for a thrust. In fact, it was so popular that it remained in use long after Napoleon's fall and was wielded by both sides in the American Civil War. In its overall appearance, it very closely resembles the United States 1860 Cavalry Saber. However, its design is slightly different and makes for a far more effective and durable weapon. The thick, moderately curved blade is forged out of 1055 high carbon steel and features a long, wide fuller and a very sharp point. More information...
