Matt: "Bluhker... Blucher... Blühker..."
i just bagged a late 1700s early 1800s ,blunderbuss carbine today matt,came back from crimean war lovely thing. Was in a museum here in devon, and they sold some things off, so i put in a bid and got her, with some old vellum parchments of the man who owned it, which is lovely.
If you guys are interested in a more detailed look at the prussian "Blücher-Sabre" or M 1811 you can watch my video about that sword. Great to see this topic here on such a big antique sword channel. Nice video!

I want to see a Zombie-Movie in wich the protagonists have the final goal of reaching Matt Eastons house for all the sabres and then ending the Zombiethreat with a lot of gore.
Anyone noticed when he's sitting down the videos last longer? I think if he gets ill and has to lie down for a video we're going to break the hour mark.
This is the exact content we expect from you mate, historical sword reviews and comparisons with a bit history lesson on the side!
Live and learn: „Marschall Vorwärts“ , (Marshal Forward) as Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher (* 16. December 1742 in Rostock; † 12. September 1819 in Krieblowitz) was popularly called, even made it into an idiom in German. "Rangehen wie die Blücher" - to tackle something like the Blücher - describes a stormily and rather resolute approach. Outdated nowadays, unfortunately. Cheers, JC
sound of scared horses
the correct pronunciation of "Blucher" can be had from Cloris Leachman in "Young Frankenstein". You will need at least 2 horses.
The style lived into WWII, my great granddad brought back 2 and now my cousin has them.
I’ve actually found several 1796 light cavalry sabres here in Peru (south America). It appears our hussars used them during the 1820’s against the Spanish Royal Army. One example that was quite strange was that it was used in 1824 against the Spanish, then in 1840 during the Peruvian Civil War, and then in 1883 during the war against Chile.
I just found you I've been binge-watching you're the man you know everything that I want to libraries to find I'm 58 years old I don't do good with technology but I really think you're something special much love from California to you and yours my brother
I own "same" Blucher sword, just the version from 1848 (Shorter Blucher) and it's great! Really reccomend buying one.
Up to 1989/90 a similar looking saber was used for ceremonies by the East German , Nationale Volksarmee'. Sabers of this style are still produced in Germany, some , Historische Bürgerwehren/ historic town guards' and target shooters societies/Schützenvereine' still use them.
Thanks for this, Matt.
that's proper savage steal. I especially appreciate those freckles on the first one. Doubtless, the previous owners didn't wash off the blood in time.
The accidental virtue of the Blucher sabre IS that heavy guard...in a pinch you could womp somebody with it (head or chest) and they'd *know it" (and scarcely muss the guard).
The grip looks designed for use with heavier gloves in Central European winters. Ditto with the heavy front strap, metal gets brittle when it's sub 0 for weeks at time, making it thicker would make it less likely to shatter.
Another thing: The way you (quite correctly) pronounce the "ch" in Blücher is how you do it in Landsknecht
