Thanks! I did know that (I did not know the other points you said, though I should since I watch Matt a lot). It was a joke though. No worries, I suspected as much but I find it funny that they had one pattern for so many different swords so posted anyway.
On the Scholagladiatoria videos, I don't think Matt has done a video on the 1796 HC Dress sword has he? I think he's only mentioned it in passing while focusing on the infantry pattern.

To be quite honest, my interest in swords focuses more on the viking period and migration period. While I enjoy watching Matt's videos, I honestly don't remember a lot of details about the plethora of late 18th century swords that the Brits went through! |

Thank for the review. A question I have is if there are any notes of these having liners inside the basket. I had raised this question about later honeysuckle models (as having bought an 1821 hc officer sword). Lo and behold, it seems some did and some don't but I wonder if your sword might have once had a liner. Cheers GC I also meant to ask if you can share an image of the scabbard top, upright, so we can see the Henry Osborn details. The backstrap ears lend it to be Osborn and O&G. Updated with new pictures! |

Thanks for the updates.
The blue and gild example is something else!
Cheers.

Great review and awesome historical back ground. Man, the part where he cut the other guy through his teeth is terrifying. That sounds like one of the ugliest sounding wounds, really emphasising the brutality of battle. Gave me a shiver imagining being that guy
This a sword I too wish to own, I love how fearsome it looks

Holy grail, the Trooper is so pretty ugly that it becomes ugly pretty again!

Holy grail, the Trooper is so pretty ugly that it becomes ugly pretty again! It's a beast of war for sure, pure violence. Not meant to dazzle anyone with its appearance. |

Added in the stats for the sword. My current scale is not very accurate, but it does seem the sword is lighter than the Undress.
