Comparing Two WW1 Swords

In this video, we take a look at two original swords from WW1. The U.S. M1913 "Patton" Cavalry Saber, and the French M-1882 Infantry Officers Sword. What compelled me to make this video is how they're both straight-bladed, saber-hilted, thrusting swords yet feel dramatically different in the hand. Let's see why! #sword #hema #history #ww1 #fencing
