Swords in the Mexican Revolution 1910-1921

[Jim McDougall]

In the late 1820s well into the 19th century, Mexican cavalry swords became more familiar with European cavalry hilts, and the long straight broadsword blades that had long been mounted in the 18th-early 19th c. 'bilbo' swords were remounted into them. These blades obviously had very long working lives!

I am still seeking more pictures of these sword types worn in the Revolution by various factions and often a matter of course of personal preference.
