They were mildly useful for deflecting long-range musket and pistol fire (we emphasize \u201cmildly\u201d), but when combined with an ornate, gorgon-headed helmet that featured plumes and horse-tail hair, the Cuirassier\u2019s battle dress created quite an imposing figure as he charged into the fray. Surviving accounts from British opponents attest to the petrifying spectacle of compact groups of Cuirassiers emerging from behind the French front lines.<\/p>\n<p>This is his sword; the\u00a0<strong>French Model 1801 Cuirassier\u2019s sword<\/strong>\u00a0is a heavy cavalry saber with a straight blade, as the French favored the thrust over slashing or cutting. This replica weighs a little over 3 lbs, the substantial mass needed to accomplish a lance-type thrusting attack. The distally tapered blade is over 1\/4\u201d thick at the\u00a0<strong>hilt<\/strong>\u00a0and is double-fullered like the originals.
