EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century print showcases a Pattern 1796 Light Cavalry Officer's sword from the 15th Hussars regiment. The blade of the sword is curved and fullered, featuring intricate engraved decoration in the linear style typical of the period. The design includes floral motifs, trophies of arms, and the letters "A.S.B" under the langet. The steel stirrup guard boasts scalloped edged langets, and the grip is leather-covered with some double twisted wire binding still remaining. This sword carries historical significance as it was carried by Colonel Henry Lane during the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Lane played a crucial role in the building of the Waterloo Model and is associated with the Napoleonic Wars. The letters "A.S.B" likely refer to the sword's maker. The sword's association with the Battle of Waterloo and the Napoleonic Wars makes it an essential piece of military history. This sword, with its elegant design and rich history, is a testament to the craftsmanship and military prowess of the 18th century.
