British 1912 Cavalry Sword | |
|
The 1908 Pattern
Cavalry Trooper's
Sword (and the 1912
Pattern, the
equivalent for
officers) was the
last service sword
issued to the cavalry
of the British Army.
It is widely
considered [1] [2]
the most effective
cavalry sword ever
designed, although
ironically its
introduction occurred
as swords finally
became obsolete as
military weapons.
1912 Pattern cavalry
officer's sword is of
the same basic form
as the 1908 trooper's
version, but in a
more decorative form.
The blade, plain for
troopers, was usually
engraved or etched
(although during WW1
expediency sometimes
led to plain blades
being fitted to
officer's swords).
The grip is of the
same form, but the
chequered rubber or
bakelite grip was
replaced by grey
ribbed shark skin,
bound with German-
silver wire. The
pommel, plain on the
trooper's version,
was chequered and
decorated.
On the front of the
bowl guard, the 1912
sword had an engraved
floral pattern,
mimicking the
honeysuckle pattern
which had been common
on officer's swords
throughout the 19th
Century.
Engraved steel guard
with leather and
twisted brass wire
wrapped grip. The
scabbard is steel
(not nickel). The
blade is 36" long and
the sword has a 42"
length overall.
Manufactured by Deepeeka, this museum quality historic replica sword features a high carbon steel blade with a full tang.
