Russian Imperial Dragoon Saber IUS-S-124

After 1881, Russian cavalry received a new sword; the 1881 model Russian cavalry saber. They

also received a new designation - Dragoon. All Russian cavalry were re-organized into Dragoon

units - a tactical nod to the growing difficulties traditional cavalry had with newer, modernizing

infantry and artillery arms. Dragoons were cavalry units that while mounted and able to fulfil

traditional cavalry duties, were trained to be able to dismount and fight as foot infantry. These

hybrid units, effectively mounted infantry, were ideal at seizing objectives and harassing

enemies - a role that the new Russian cavalry excelled in. Russian cavalry would play significant

roles in the Russian Civil War, particularly the 1st Cavalry Army of the Bolsheviks, the ‘’Red

Horse Army’’ that would keep Imperial Forces from Moscow. Cavalry units even played a part in

WWII, where their ability to cover great distances without gasoline was an advantage for

resource-strapped Russia in the early war.

The wood-core scabbard is covered

in black leather and overlaid with brass accents. A leather washer at the base of the blade
