Pecoraro Dueling Sabre
We are proud to offer the most accurate modern Pecoraro dueling sabre available, period. We (mostly our dedicated design genius Taite) painstakingly 3D scanned, in ultra high definition, one of Sam’s favorite antiques. The exact make of the sabre is unknown although it is speculated to be a Negrini as both the guard and the backstrap bear a close resemblance to parts in an early 20th century Negrini catalog. Note guard 58 and the backstrap 125.
Our guard version is a precise 3D printed facsimile from 316 stainless steel, accurate down to the smallest detail.
Because this sabre is designed directly from an antique, the historical statistics are dead on. Many of the masters of the period (1860-1900) agreed that the ideal point of balance for these light fencing sabres is 9 to 11 centimeters from the front of the guard. This distance was often referred to as “4 fingers width”. Universally, the overall weight for this class of sabre was often between 650 and 750grams.
Our version is 680 grams with the 16mm blade options and 725 grams with the 20mm blade options. POB with 16mm blade options is 9cm and POB with the 20mm blade options is 11cm.
We offer two choices of dueling sabre blades, each in a 20mm and 16mm size. While each feature the highest quality and handling the difference is in how they are constructed and the results are largely only cosmetic. In form and function they all handle incredibly well. Our Blades are split into two categories:
Hand ground distal taper 5160 spring steel blades.
Hand ground flat distal taper “BBS” spring steel blades.
While both types handle similarly, and are of similar weight and balance, the distal taper blades take a great deal more skill and precision to manufacture. These blades are considered by many to be the finest and most historically accurate dueling sabre blades produced in the world today. The latter are made from .130 5160 blue temper spring steel and are flat distal ground with equal precision to put the flex right where it needs to be- the tip 3rd.
Using exacting measurements from some other antiques, we have designed a hyper accurate metal 3D printed backstrap system from 316 stainless steel. This includes a backstrap and feral and to fill them, two grip inserts: deep and shallow, both also modeled from extant references. The deep grip insert is designed to mimic the general shape of the light military sabres of the 1870’s through the 1920’s. The shallow grip insert is designed to the general specifications of the “sport” sabres of the 1880’s.
All of these parts are held together by a recessed M6 threaded pin. The pin is hardened to reduce the potential for damage and stripped threads and requires a metric 4mm hex wrench.
And, just like everything else we build, all of these parts are interchangeable with every other dueling saber product we make.
