American Revolutionary War Hanger

The American Revolutionary War Hanger from Kingston Arms captures the elegance and practicality of a sword favored by non-commissioned infantry officers of the 18th century. Light in the hand yet formidable in combat, this refined reproduction reflects the balance, style, and authority of the originals carried during one of history’s most pivotal conflicts. Whether for display, reenactment, or collection, it is a blade that bridges artistry with battlefield function.

Historical Background

Derived from earlier British hanger patterns, this four-slot guard design remained popular throughout the Revolutionary War and continued to see use until its end. Known for being shorter and more maneuverable than full-sized sabers, the hanger was well-suited for officers leading troops in close formations or navigating dense terrain. Its presence on both sides of the conflict makes it an iconic symbol of the period, embodying the transitional style of 18th-century military sidearms.

This hanger features a 24 ¼” blade perfectly balanced at 1 lb. 14 oz., offering both agility and cutting power. The matte stainless-steel guard and pommel echo period craftsmanship, while the wood core grip is wrapped in leather and bound with wire for a secure hold, even when wearing gloves. The leather scabbard is seam-stitched and fitted with stainless-steel locket and chape, with the locket including a frog button for baldric carry. With its historically inspired build, excellent balance, and razor-sharp edge, this sword is a standout choice for reenactors and discerning collectors of Revolutionary War arms.
