The British Royal Horse Guard were one of the Household Regiments of the British military – an elite of the top tier, their wargear reflected their status; tall, plumed helms, colorful sashes and well-groomed horses, they radiated the grandeur of the Royalty and its military traditions. Not merely a ceremonial parade regiment, the Royal Horse Guards served admirably in the Napoleonic and Peninsular Wars. Two squadrons of them fought with distinction in the Household Brigade at Waterloo in the charge of the British Heavy Cavalry.

The 1832 Pattern Royal Horse Guards Officers Dress Sword reflects the ornate gear and status of the Royal Horse Guards. Its style is influenced by the embellished cavalry swords of the Continent; namely a French style pommel and a German style guard.

This reproduction has an unsharpened blade of high carbon steel etched on both sides with the symbols of British royalty. The hilt is of brass and the grip is ribbed leather wrapped with inlaid brass wire. The scabbard is of steel with brass accents and suspension rings. A leather washer at the base of the blade protects the crossguard from colliding into the metal throat of the scabbard.

  1. Alexander (verified owner)

    Fine sword.
    Exactly as pictured, solid feel, quality fit and finish, very clean etching job on the blade.
    The scabbard fittings are all symmetrical and tight.

  2. Jonathan Reynolds (verified owner)

    Scabbard is nicely fitted, the hilt furniture is nicely fitted, and overall it’s just a beauty.
    The scabbard is hard to get the sword into or out of for the last 10 inches or so. Not a quick draw.
    Blade is LOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGG. User needs to be ready for how much longer this blade is compared to other single handed swords.
