As a young captain, he observed the clumsy design of the heavy, overly long 1788 Pattern swords. Le Marchant opined that the &#8220;<strong><em>blades of the Turks, Mamelukes, Moors, and Hungarians (were) preferable to any other<\/em><\/strong>.&#8221; He gave the blade of this saber a\u00a0<strong>pronounced curve<\/strong>, which made it more adept at cavalry attack methods, and designed it with a widened tip that affected the balance, but made slashes far more brutal. It was issued primarily to British light dragoons and hussars and was also used by the\u00a0<strong>King&#8217;s German Legion light cavalry during the Napoleonic Wars<\/strong>. The\u00a0<strong>blade<\/strong>\u00a0profile became so popular that the Prussians and other German states emulated its design throughout the 19th century.<\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0<strong>exact replica of an original<\/strong>\u00a0antique weighs only 1 lb, 12 oz, and the\u00a0<strong>blade<\/strong>\u00a0features an extreme\u00a0<strong>distal taper<\/strong>, enabling it to feel exceptionally lively.
