This fine replica is 39 inches overall and features a highly polished 33 inch carbon steel blade. Its leather wrapped handle fits the hand perfectly and sports decorative brass accents and a shiny brass pommel. The sculpted hand guard is made of brightly polished brass. The Artillery Officer's Sword comes with a nickel-plated steel scabbard with lanyard rings.

Customer Rating: Summary: nice Comment: good replica... dont like the fact that it says india on one side of the blade. other than that perfect Customer Rating: Summary: thirty six bucks for a carbon steel sword Comment: This is a reasonably good sword, and for the price it cannot be beaten. It is by no means a perfect replica of the 1860 Cavalry saber but it is close enough. The curve of the blade of the saber sold here is slightly flatter than the curve of the blade of the original, and the hilt of the weapon shown here is different in two minor ways.
This sword is carbon steel. (That is, there is enough carbon in the steel to withstand the rigors of actually using the sword in a fight.) That is the main advantage this sword has over other, similarly priced swords. It will stand up to tests that it was not meant to take.
When I bought this sword it was a bet to see if would be good (for the price) or if it would be junk. As soon as I had it in my hands I went and hit it against railroad ties as hard as I could many, many times. It did not break, and when I was done I examined it to see if it was damaged. The blade was bent perhaps 1/16 of an inch to the left. Other than that it was undamaged.
The blade will flex about four to five inches out of line and return true. (It may go further but I will not risk it.)
DO NOT TRY ANY OF THESE THINGS ON THIS SWORD IF YOU BUY IT. These tests are bad for the sword. Just take my word that it will withstand them.
The main benefit this sword has is its price. Anyone who is interested in swordsmanship can now buy a sword. The other benefit of their low price is that it is easy and inexpensive to get someone interested in Western Swordsmanship by buying one of these and a copy of The Highland Broadsword for them.
The quality of the sword is, of course, inferior to swords by Cold Steel, or CAS Iberia, but this is certainly the best sword available for such a low price.
