1796 Pattern Light Cavalry Trooper's Sabre by Dawes, Birmingham

1796 Pattern Light Cavalry Trooper's Sabre, made by Dawes, Birmingham (marked Dawes, Birmm on spine). Blade also marked with Board of Ordnance stamp.

Very good fighting blade with a wide hatchet point. Pitting present, and some slight nicks.

Scabbard is marked Woolley & Co. Birmingham. It is common to see scabbards mis-matched by the regimental armourer. It fits very well, flush with the very thick original leather washer.
