Polish saber Hussar XVII century, hardened decorated - replica
THE SUBJECT IS A NEW HUSBOR SABER, WITH A DECORATED HANDLE WITH A HARDENED BLADE, MADE BY POLISH CRAFTSMEN!
A copy of the 17th-century Hussar saber, which is in the collections of the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw. As a hussar saber it combines the features of a Hungarian, Turkish and Western European saber. Adapted to be used with a horse, mainly used in hussars, it was also called a hussar broadsword or curved broadsword (sloping). The brass bow is not connected with the head, the cap with an apron has decorations with a floral motif. Similar decorations are found on the cross guard and big toe. The handle base is made of wood, wrapped in leather and wrapped with filigree brass wire. The blade of the saber is forged, with a lash and hammer. Thanks to this, the center of gravity is slightly further away from the guard, which makes the saber better balanced. The blade has rounded edges.
The saber is made of high carbon steel, hardened to a hardness of 48-52 HRC. This blade can be used e.g. during reconstruction performances of historical teams without worrying about its durability. It has blunt edges with a thickness of about 2.5mm so that it does not chip or chip off.
dimensions:
total length - 95cm
blade length - 82cm
blade width at the guard - 3.5 cm
weight - 1.25kg
SABER FROM UPPER SHELF, I RECOMMEND!
