SOLD – British 1796 light cavalry sabre – owner’s initials

This is a nice, and rather unique, 1796 sabre from the British army. It was made by Craven and Bradbury. This example is a trooper model, but the owner’s initials were inscribed on the guard and the scabbard. This could be an officer who wanted an enlisted man’s sword, or perhaps a gift to a long serving NCO.

This sword was heavily cleaned up in the past. It is missing it’s leather and rope on the grip, which could be relatively easily restored.
