CAVALRY SABER
Japanese Cavalry Saber (1800s) – Serial No. 66729
This rare Japanese Cavalry Saber, bearing the serial number 66729, represents a transitional period in Japan’s military history. Crafted during the late Edo to early Meiji era, this saber blends traditional samurai sword-making techniques with Western military influences.
Designed for mounted combat, it features a curved, single-edged blade optimized for swift strikes, along with a European-style hilt and handguard for enhanced grip and protection. Over time, exposure to the elements has made well-preserved examples increasingly scarce, making this numbered piece a significant collector's item.
