Unlike the state-equipped \u003cstrong\u003eBargirs\u003c\/strong\u003e, Silahdars were responsible for providing their own horses, weapons, and equipment. This often meant they were wealthier, highly experienced warriors who took great pride in the quality of their arms and the condition of their mounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing as a vital component of the Maratha armies during the 17th and 18th centuries, Silahdar cavalry excelled in rapid manoeuvre warfare.

Armed with swords, spears, shields, and sometimes firearms, they combined individual skill with disciplined cavalry tactics, making them a formidable force against both Indian rivals and European armies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpertly sculpted and hand-painted, \u003cstrong\u003eM-WIN-15 – Silahdar Cavalry\u003c\/strong\u003e captures the confidence and professionalism of these elite horsemen.
