Modeled after the Austrian 1775 pattern, this sword with its massive blade saw service with the British Dragoon Guards, etc. throughout the Napoleonic Wars. Of particular note were the actions of the Scots Greys at the Battle of Waterloo, which included one of their NCOs, Sergeant Ewart, capturing a French Eagle. In recent times, this sword has been made famous by the author Bernard Cromwell in his novel series on a 95th Rifles officer by the name of Sharpe, who welds this relatively cumbersome weapon with great efficiency. Sergt Ewart capturing a French Eagle One is amazed at the presence of this sword and the measures taken in its design to strengthen it. The steel, pierced guard and back strap are significantly reinforced as compared to other swords of the period. Finishing element of the hilt is the ribbed black leather grip. The blade is quite broad and this example has a diagonal cutting point to it, an improvement made by numerous regiments to increase the sword's efficiency. Completing the sword is a well crafted steel scabbard with extra-reinforced ring mounts.
