Canadian Cavalry 1890 Pattern Troopers Sword With Scabbard Marked FGH

The Canadian Cavalry 1890 Pattern Troopers Sword with Scabbard marked FGH is a military edged weapon issued to Canadian cavalry units in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This model follows the 1890 pattern, characterized by its straight, single-edged blade designed for thrusting and cutting. The hilt typically features a bowl guard to provide hand protection, and the grip is bound in leather with wire wrapping for secure handling. The included steel scabbard is fitted with suspension rings for attachment to a cavalryman’s equipment, facilitating ease of carry when mounted. The “FGH” marking on this sword refers to the Fort Garry Horse, a notable Canadian cavalry regiment. Such markings are key to identifying regimental issue and are of particular interest to collectors and historians. The 1890 Pattern Troopers Sword represents the transition between traditional cavalry weaponry and the increasing mechanization of armed forces in the early twentieth century.
