This saber was widely
used by the British and
their Prussian allies
under General Blucher in
the Battle of Waterloo.
The blade was derived
from the ferocious
Indian Talwar and was
reviled by the French
who protested its use
due to the horribly
destructive wounds it
inflicted. In fact, this
saber was so successful
as a cutting weapon,
that the German Cavalry
continued to use it
right up to the
beginning of the 20th
century!
If you want a combat
quality saber that will
pass the British Proof
Test and is fully
capable of shearing off
arms and even legs with
a single blow, this is a
must have! It comes
fully sharpened with a
wood and leather
scabbard with steel
mounts.

steel mounts and
fittings.
