EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the Pattern 1796 Heavy Cavalry Officers undress sword, dating back to around 1810. Created by English School in the 19th century, this weapon is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. The straight and fullered blade of this sword, crafted by I Gill, is a testament to its strength and functionality. Its blued surface boasts intricate engravings that include the Royal coat of arms from 1801-16, a trophy of arms, the cypher A G RA, and an elegantly depicted mounted cavalryman armed with both a sword and carbine. One cannot help but be drawn to the pierced steel "ladder" guard that adorns this remarkable piece. The ribbed wooden grip covered in leather adds both comfort and durability while being expertly bound with silver wire for added elegance. This print not only captures the beauty of this historical artifact but also serves as a reminder of the bravery and dedication exhibited by cavalry officers throughout history. It symbolizes their unwavering commitment to their duty as they donned their undress uniform adorned with such regal heraldry. As we admire this image captured by Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to an era when these swords were not just weapons but symbols of honor and valor on battlefields across Europe.
