French M1830 cavalry saber
Measurements
This medium weight saber is the post-Napoleonic cavalry trooper's chosen weapon. It posses 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 star had fallen and was
wielded by both sides in our own Civil War. In its general overall appearance it very closely resembles the US M1860 light cavalry
saber. However, this design is slightly different and makes for a far more effective and durable weapon. The thick, moderately curved
blade is forged out of 1050 carbon steel and features a long, wide fuller and a very sharp, practical point. The grip of the M1830
saber is equally well made. It is wrapped in black leather and strongly protected by a stout, brass three bar hilt. Comes with a heavy
duty polished steel scabbard with dual ring mounts.
