COLD STEEL 88S 1796 LIGHT CALVARY SABER WOOD/LEATHER SHEATH

This saber was widely used by the British and their Prussian allies under General Blucher in the Battle of Waterloo. The blade's profile was derived from the ferocious Indian Talwar and was reviled by the French who strongly 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 Twentieth 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 your choice of a wood and leather scabbard with steel mounts and fittings or an all metal scabbard.
