Dear All,
A few initial specifications details about the sabres.
Duelling sabres ~ Blade length 34"
Grip Length ~ 5 3/4"
Weight ~ Radaelli - 632g Pecararo - 556g
Hutton sabre ~ blade length - 31" (to be changed)
Weight ~ 598g
The uploaded photographs show clear images of the hilts and overall
proportion, which is exactly that of originals. The straight duelling
sabre blade is an exact copy from an original that I submitted for
reproduction. Curved blade versions will also be available.
All blades handle fantastically, with a slight difference in balance
between the Radaelli and Pecararo.
All blades are also interchangeable, so a duelling sabre blade on a
Hutton sabre will give you a Barbasetti sabre! (The grip and hilt
form is exactly the same for both).
These blades shall all be fully tested this weekend and I shall let
everyone know how they fare. Actual retail costs for these are yet to
be confirmed and a few recommendations shall be forwarded for minor
alterations prior to general production.
More to follow!
Yours Very Truly,
