Infantry Briquet Napoleonic War Sabre Sword

Description:

The year is 1803. Across the Channel, Napoleon gathers his legions, and Britain answers with steel. Authorized by royal decree for infantry officers facing the Empire's advance, the Briquet sabre became the companion of those who led from the front—not with cavalry flash, but with the steady footfall of men who would not break. This replica honors that legacy. The carbon steel blade, cut in classic sabre style with a dull edge suitable for reenactment or theater, carries the silhouette that once flashed in the Spanish Peninsula and on the fields of Waterloo. The ribbed hilt, forged from metal alloy with a golden finish that matches tip and throat, offers a grip both elegant and sure. Within, a hand-sewn leather-wrapped wooden scabbard cradles the blade, waiting for the officer's hand. A piece of history, ready for the next campaign.
