Original British Napoleonic Wars Saber from the County of Dorset Militia - Circa 1800 Czech Militaria This attracted dust and debrisOriginal Item: One Only. This is a most interesting sidearm, issued during the period of National panic surrounding the early Napoleonic Wars. There was great fear that the French hordes would invade England. The great Naval Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 pretty much ensured that Napoleon's Invasion would never happen, but Great Britain maintained its County Militias for many more years, until Napoleon's final defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
