The British Officer’s 5 Ball Spadroon was introduced in the 1780’s and was the first attempt at a uniform pattern sword for the British Military. It was called the 5 Ball Spadroon because of the decoration on the guard. This sword style was popular for both Infantry and Naval Officers and there were a number of variations of the pattern in use. This sword is a faithful replica of the one worn by the wax mannequin of Lord Nelson that was placed on display in Westminster Abbey in 1806.

It features an undecorated, tempered high-carbon steel blade. The ornate brass hilt features a side ring and reeded faux ivory grip intersected with a brass band featuring a fouled anchor and crown. The wooden scabbard is covered with black leather and features brass fittings and 2 hanging rings. The locket is stamped with the fouled anchor on one side and “Richard Teed, Strand” on the reverse.

This reproduction of a British infantrymans hanger is based on an extant example dating to 1760. These British brass-hilted swords were heavily influenced by French and German hangers from the continent as evidenced by its half-basket hilt with a heart shaped guard. The hanger sword is designed for close-in fighting – the blade is an ideal length for a close-quarters scrum.

This Hanger sword has a blade of 1055 high carbon steel peened to a hilt of brass. Its companion scabbard is crafted from sturdy leather with chape and throat pieces of brass.

The 1796 Heavy Cavalry Sword was based on the Austrian 1775 pattern sword and was used by British Heavy Cavalry regiments such as the Dragoon Guards. The large blade had incredible cutting power but was cumbersome to use. It is perhaps most famous as the sword used by Richard Sharpe of the 95^th Rifles in the series of books written by Bernard Cornwell.

The polished blade has been forged from AISI 1065 High Carbon Steel and has been well tempered.

The Household Cavalry consists of the 2 most senior regiments in the British Army regiments, the Life Guards and the Blues and Royals. They were present at some of the British Army’s most notable battles, including Waterloo, where this sword would have seen action during the Charge of the Heavy Brigade.

The styling of the Household Cavalry Officers Sword borrows much from the Prussian military ‘’Pallasch’’ swords. It features a tempered high-carbon steel blade inscribed with a “HAMBURGER & Co” makers mark to replicate an original. The ornate brass hilt encloses a leather wrapped wooden grip with twisted brass wire overlay. The wooden scabbard is covered with black leather and features an integrated brass sheath with brass hanging rings.

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.
