French officer's sabre from 1815 CST-88NF

French officer's sabre

The Napoleonic army was known for its great military organization, although the variety of uniforms and equipment they used was almost unlimited. While low-ranking soldiers wore standard equipment, officers, who were normally prone to vanity, were constantly looking for ways to stand out both by their clothing and the presentation of their weapons. They were assigned different weapons of special design, and some were even created by custom orders.

Although the functionality of this sabre was undisputed, Cold Steel® was primarily excited by its stunning appearance. From the highly polished steel to the elegant engraving on the blade, to the fittings crafted from solid brass and the richly decorated booklet, it is a true work of art.

This faithful replica of the 1815 French Officer's Sabre features a highly polished, combat-grade blade made of 1055 carbon steel, a leather-wrapped handle with wire winding paired with an equally polished stainless steel scabbard, and a stunning, lavishly decorated solid brass basket with three struts.

With an overall length of approximately 96.5 cm and a blade length of approximately 81.3 cm, the CST-88NF 1815 French Officer's Sabre Replica is an impressive and iconic piece of French military history. It comes with a polished stainless steel sheath with brass fittings for easy carrying and protection from damage.

If you are a collector of historical weaponry or simply a fan of French military history, the 1815 CST-88NF French Officer's Sabre is a must-have piece. It is a masterpiece of Napoleonic era craftsmanship and technology and is a stunning representation of the elegance and ingenuity of French officers of the time.
