Original Item: Only One Available. This is a lovely example of the British P-1796 Light Dragoon Saber. The Pattern 1796 light cavalry saber is a sword that was used primarily by British light dragoons and hussars, and King's German Legion light cavalry during the Napoleonic Wars. It was adopted by the Prussians (as the 1811 pattern or "Blücher saber") and used by Portuguese and Spanish cavalry.

Our example is in fine condition and retains very little of its leather wrapped wooden grip and lovely "stirrup" steel guard together, with its original heavy iron Scabbard. The wire wrapping on the grip unfortunately has been removed along with nearly all of the leather.

The curved hatchet point blade measures 32 1/2” X 1 1/2", with an overall length 37 ½”. The spine of the blade has no markings visible. The scabbard is in equal condition (repainted) and very lovely. There is minor staining and pitting present, but overall a very solid example.

A fine sword and scabbard ready for display.
