Product Overview
The French Napoleon Dragoon Sword with Leather Scabbard is a historically inspired cavalry saber modeled after the famous AN XII Dragoon swords introduced during the Napoleonic Wars in 1805. Designed to replace the earlier AN IV Dragoon sword, this refined cavalry weapon featured a stronger and more elegant four-bar brass hilt similar to the sabers carried by French Cuirassiers. Widely associated with Napoleon’s mounted troops, the AN XII pattern became one of the most recognizable dragoon swords of the early 19th century.
This detailed replica faithfully recreates the original military styling with a four-bar brass guard, traditional grip construction, and leather scabbard mounted with brass hardware. The distinctive ball-ended chape reflects authentic dragoon saber design used by French cavalry units during the Napoleonic era. The blade is forged from high carbon spring steel and features deep fullers inspired by surviving historical examples for accurate balance and visual authenticity.
Additional period details include arsenal etchings on the spine of the blade along with inspector markings stamped on both the blade and hilt, closely replicating the appearance of original French military sabers. Ideal for collectors, Napoleonic reenactment, cavalry displays, and historical military collections, this French dragoon sword combines elegant battlefield styling with historically accurate craftsmanship.
