I really should be finishing up the last unit of cavalry – British Light Dragoons, no less. However, a reproduction Pattern 1786 Light Cavalry Sabre made by Cold Steel arrived on my doorstep today. The sword was designed with the help of the great British cavalry commander, General Le Marchant after his experience in the Flanders Campaign as a young officer.

Who said you need a big table or Black Powder? Actually, just a photo op, but the 5×6′ table will help me decide on what units to use at the game day next Saturday at Fort Steilacoom.

An all-metal scabbard would’ve been more authentic, but the vendor I ordered this from didn’t carry those anymore.

Well, thank you for allowing me to indulge myself (yet again). Kindest regards to you all; and the next post should be the completed Light Dragoon (wielding the Pattern 1796).
