A Brief History Of One Of The Best Military Weapons During The 18th Century: The Spadroon

The 1796 Regulation

The 1796 regulation was made, and it was the first British infantry sword to accompany a pattern and be under strict parameters. It somewhat followed the same regulation blade in the 1786 regulation, but the only difference was that the sword had a regulation hilt, a brass gilded double-shell guard with a knuckle bow and urn-shaped pommel.

It was the first sword to find its way in the English military during the 17th and 18th centuries. If you want to see an authentic Spadroon up close, you can visit a British historical weapons museum, and you can find it kept in a glass container for the public to see.
