Cavalry sword auctions: trooper's and officer's swords, searched at once

Cavalry swords, from British 1885 pattern trooper's swords to American Civil War sabres, are collected for their pattern year, regimental markings and maker's stamps, with a matching scabbard and original leather fittings adding real value over a blade alone. A correctly attributed pattern year or a scarce maker's name can separate a genuinely desirable sword from a common, worn example.

Why cavalry sword lots get missed

General militaria and antique sellers often list a cavalry sword simply as "old sword" without identifying the pattern year or maker, so a genuinely scarce example can sit unrecognised inside a listing indistinguishable from a common one.

One search across every platform

Auction Bid Assistant's free browser extension searches the-saleroom, EasyLive, Bidspotter, Invaluable, NumisBids, iCollector and LiveAuctionWorld simultaneously, alongside eBay. Search a pattern year, a maker's name, "cavalry sabre," or "cavalry sword" generally and results return across all of them, with images, estimates, current bids where shown, and sale countdowns, sorted by platform in tabs.

Real results for "cavalry sword antique": a genuine British 1885 pattern trooper's sword scabbard plus a US Civil War cavalry sword knot, found in one search.

It works by searching from inside your own browser, the same as opening and searching each site yourself, just done in seconds. Nothing is stored on our servers, permissions are minimal, and the extension never places a bid on your behalf.

Alerts: for the patterns or makers you collect

Save a search (a pattern year, a maker's name, or "cavalry sword" generally) and get emailed the moment a new lot matches it, across all covered platforms including eBay, rather than relying on remembering to check each one.

Want to try before installing?

The same search box works on this website with no install at all for eBay, iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld and Featured Auction catalogues, a quick way to see matching cavalry sword lots before adding the rest of the platforms via the extension.
