EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Heavy Cavalry Trooper's sword, belonging to the Royal Horse Guards, dating back to 1796. Crafted by the British School in the 18th century, this metal weapon is currently housed at the National Army Museum in London. The sword features a straight and flat-backed blade with a sharp spear point. Its guard is made of steel or iron and follows the distinctive "star" design, complete with side bars for added protection. The grip of this formidable weapon is constructed from wood covered with leather and bound tightly with steel wire. Interestingly, unlike other regiments, the Household Cavalry regiments were not required to adhere strictly to cavalry patterns authorized for their counterparts. This unique characteristic makes it challenging to accurately document and date specimens like this one before 1850. As we admire this historical artifact through Fine Art Finder's lens, we are transported back in time when brave soldiers donned these swords as they served their country on horseback. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and valor displayed by those who fought under its banner - an enduring symbol of strength within our armed forces.
