EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Pattern 1796 Heavy Cavalry Troopers sword from the year 1814. The blade of this historic weapon is stamped with the maker's name, I Gill. Originally, this sword was designed with a hatchet blade, which rendered it ineffective for thrusting due to its lack of curvature, making it an inefficient slashing sword as well. To address these issues, the blade was modified to a spear-point before the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The disc guard on this sword features langets that have been removed, and the inner edge has been ground down to prevent fraying of the wearer's uniform. The Pattern 1796 Heavy Cavalry Troopers sword was a crucial weapon during the Napoleonic Wars, and this particular sword dates back to circa 1814. Despite its historical significance, it is essential to note that this print is for educational and informational purposes only. The sword depicted here is not for sale or commercial use. It is a testament to the intricacies of military history and the evolution of weaponry during this period.
