The British Pattern 1853 replaced the British Pattern 1821 sword and was the first universal cavalry British Pattern sword.

In 1853 a new universal pattern sword, the Sword, Cavalry, Pattern 1853 was introduced for all cavalry troopers, heavy as well as light. It replaced the Pattern 1821 Sword, and was probably a design produced at Enfield to meet deficiencies in the 1821 patterns. It was the first universal cavalry pattern and its basic characteristics were reproduced in successive patterns until 1908. Used in the Crimean War and in New Zealand. But it too, had a relatively short life and was replaced by the Sword, Cavalry, Pattern 1864 which adopted a new guard combined with the Pattern 1853 blade. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
