The Life Guard and the Royal Horse Guards are the elite Household Cavalry of Britain. Their wargear reflects their lauded status, and they ride astride well-groomed horses, with tall plumed helms and colorful sashes. Regiments of the Household Cavalry fought in the Napoleonic Wars, and most admirably at Waterloo as part of the charge of the British Heavy Cavalry.

This is the 1814 Pattern of the Household Cavalry Officers Sword and it borrows much of its styling from the Prussian military Pallasch swords. This was the type of blade in the hands of the Officers of the Household Cavalry at the Battle of Waterloo.

This 1814 Pattern Household Cavalry Officers Sword has an unsharpened blade of high carbon steel. The base of the blade is inscribed with a replica blade maker inscription; HAMBURGER & Co. It has a hilt of brass and a grip wrapped in black leather and overlaid with twisted brass wire. The wood-core scabbard is wrapped in black leather and accented with an integrated brass sheath with two brass hanging rings.

    When she was good, she was very very good, and when she was bad… Both India and Chinese repro cutlers have a bad habit of bundling swords into group whose blades appear to be similar. In this case the British 1814 appears to be a copy of the French ANXI HC blade, so we’ll use our tried and true company ANXI blade (again).

    This don’t cut the mustard. Officer blades are not typically the large, percussive weapons of the line. They are elegant and sleek. Suitable for a gentleman trained to fence. Same goes for the hilt. They should minimalist. (Unless you are talking bling, we likes bling, precious we do.)

    Bottom line. This is purely for diaplay. In hand it is an immense disappointment.
