Napoleonic Mameluke Saber
This saber is inspired by the oriental weapons of the Mamelukes, the legendary horsemen whom Napoleon encountered during his Egyptian campaign. The Mamelukes were originally Christian slaves trained for war, who later ruled Egypt for centuries. Their courage and colorful attire so impressed Napoleon that after the conquest of Egypt he created a Mameluke regiment of the Imperial Guard, which became a symbol of his exotic troops.
The Napoleonic Mameluke Saber features a long, curved blade designed for both cutting and thrusting attacks, ideal for fast cavalry charges and strikes from horseback.
The replica is made from tempered EN9 high carbon steel, with a brass guard and a wooden grip secured by brass pins. The scabbard has a wooden core covered in black leather with brass fittings and suspension rings.
