Pattern 1908 Cavalry Saber

The 1908 Pattern Cavalry Trooper's Sword (and the 1912 Pattern, the equivalent for officers) was the last service sword issued to the cavalry of the British Army. It is widely considered the most effective cavalry sword ever designed, although ironically its introduction occurred as swords finally became obsolete as military weapons.

The 1908 Pattern was issued to the British Cavalry and to the Cavalry of Empire Forces. A version was also adopted by the Confederate Cavalry. However, during the Great War, it saw little to no action, except in hand-to-hand fighting in trenches.
