British 1897 Infantry Officer’s Saber with Steel Scabbard
The British 1897 Infantry Officer’s Saber is a distinguished piece inspired by the classic British military swords of the late 19th century. The blade is forged from durable 1055 high carbon steel, carefully tempered for strength and authenticity. Intricate etchings of military motifs and royal emblems decorate both sides of the blade, paying homage to its regal heritage.
The hilt is constructed from robust steel and features a protective guard with ornate cutouts that echo the design of the originals. The grip is wood, meticulously wrapped with faux rayskin and reinforced with braided steel wire for a secure, elegant hold. Completing the ensemble is a matching steel scabbard fitted with steel hanging rings, ideal for wearing on the belt or displaying in a collection.
The 1897 British Infantry Officer’s Sword remains the standard regulation sword for the British Army to this day. It has a storied history of active service, first introduced in the late 19th century and seeing use through colonial campaigns, the world wars, and continuing into modern military ceremonial duties. This reproduction pays tribute to that enduring legacy.
