EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Pattern 1821 Light Cavalry Troopers sword, belonging to the 3rd Cavalry Hyderabad Contingent. Created by the British School in the 19th century, this metal sword is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. The distinct feature of this sword lies in its pipe-backed (rounded-backed) blade, which sets it apart from others of its kind. Surprisingly, these swords were still being utilized in India as late as 1887, long after they had been abandoned by the British Army. This particular weapon was used by the Hyderabad Contingent, which served as the army for a semi-independent princely state known as Hyderabad. It is worth noting that much of their weaponry and equipment, including loan-officers, were provided by the Government of India. The historical significance and unique design make this trooper's sword an intriguing artifact that sheds light on military practices during that era. As we admire this image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to a time when cavalry troops played a vital role within armed forces worldwide. It serves as a reminder of their bravery and dedication to duty while also highlighting cultural exchanges between nations through weapons procurement and training methods.
