Prussia - Assault - Sword

Prussian Blucher Cavalry Sabre 1811M / Model 1811 Kavarlierresäbel, dated 1831 Model 1811M Cavalry Sabre in great condition, with matching regimental markings “R. B. T . 2. G. 42” on the hilt and the scabbard. The 82cm blade has the date ‘1831’ marked on its spine. These sabres were developed after the British Pattern 1796 Light Cavalry swords, which were sent to Prussia in early 1807. The Model 1811 was used by Prussian hussars, dragoons, uhlans, horse artillery and by the militia cavalry Landwehr who had been raised in 1813 to fight against the French. As a result of its prominence in several campaigns (including Waterloo and the War of Freedom) , the Model 1811 became known as the Blücher-Sabre, after Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, the most famous Prussian commander of the period.
