Product Description
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.The 1796 Light Cavalry Saber comes with your choice of an all steel scabbard or a wood/leather scabbard. Both versions feature steel mounts and fittings.

This is a very well put together weapon; the blade is sharp, it seems very sturdy, and as far as I can tell it is pretty true to the original sword. The only reason I take one star off is because the scabbard doesn't seem to be of the same quality. It isn't that big of a deal, and I won't be returning the sword, but I would probably go for the all metal scabbard if I could do it again.

Got my Cold steel 1796 light cavalry saber today in the mail. It came a on time and well sharpened and in excellent condition. It is a very sturdy sword and will be pass it on to my kids because it is built to last that long. My only complaint is the sales description on Amazon said " It comes fully sharpened with a wood and leather scabbard with steel mounts.The 1796 Light Cavalry Saber comes with your choice of an all steel scabbard or a wood/leather scabbard.". There was no place on the amazon page to make a choice either all steel or leather/wood scabbard. They sent me the wood scabbard but I wanted the steel scabbard. I'm not going to send it back because it's still a good sword and there is no reason to send it back just because I DON'T LIKE THE LEATHER AND WOOD SCABBARD. Love the sword but seller loses a star on the review because of a description SNAFU. Buyer beware if you want this sword and the all steel scabbard; you'll get the lower price leather scabbard. Meh, live and learn.
