95th Rifles Regimental Pattern Sabre

The 95th Rifles Regimental Pattern Sabre is a striking reproduction of the saber wielded by the famous 95th Rifles during the Napoleonic Wars. Crafted with historical accuracy and field-tested resilience, this saber features a rugged slab-sided blade forged from 1065 high carbon steel—deliberately made without a fuller to maximize strength in parrying cavalry blows. Its nickel-plated hilt, wire-wrapped leather grip, and scabbard fittings echo the prestige and martial elegance of early 19th-century British light infantry regiments. Whether you're portraying a soldier from the Peninsular Campaign or adding authenticity to a historical collection, this sword delivers both style and substance.

Adopted by the 95th Rifles after 1803, this sabre pattern accompanied the regiment through the Peninsular War and the Battle of Waterloo. As depicted in Bernard Cornwell's *Sharpe’s Rifles* series, the 95th Rifles stood out for their green uniforms and superior marksmanship. The saber's robust, fuller-less blade was designed for durability—ideal for light infantry troops engaged in skirmishing and melee. This saber design was later adopted by other regiments, such as the King’s German Legion and Glengarry Light Infantry, demonstrating its practical value across the British Army.
