After 1891, the Russian cavalry received a new weapon, the Russian saber model 1881. It also received a new name - dragoon. The entire Russian cavalry was reorganized into dragoon formations - a tactical nod to the increasingly difficult conditions for cavalry units in the face of fighting new, modernized infantry and artillery weapons. Dragoons were cavalry that could perform traditional cavalry tasks but were trained to fight on foot. This specific hybrid of units was ideal for territory capture and harassment operations - a role in which the Russian cavalry performed admirably. They played a great role in the Russian Civil War, especially the First Cavalry Regiment of the Bolshevik Army. The Russian cavalry also played an important role during World War II,

This replica model of the Russian saber wz. 1891 has a blunt blade made of high quality steel. On the blade there is a marking of the saber written in Cyrillic and the production date 1982. Brass handle with a shaft carved from wood painted dark brown. The scabbard with a wooden skeleton is covered with black leather and decorated with brass fittings. The leather sponge at the base protects the crossguard from the brass fitting of the upper part of the scabbard.
