	Light Cavalry Sabers the French Army
		Sabre de cavalerie légère: While this name actually means light cavalry saber (so one could conclude that it comprises all light cavalry sabers) it is used only for sabers that have metal scabbards with a three branches brass hilt, the most famous models being the An IX and AN XIII.
		This group of sabers was usually less luxurious and therefore mostly used by the enlisted troopers of the Light Cavalry.
		Also used, as noted in one of my previous articles, that some officers brought Mameluk sabers back with them after Napoleon’s Egyptian Campaign and that these sabers became fashionable in the French army, especially with the light cavalry officers.

	POLISH NEWS - Polish History Page - Last Great Charge of the Polish Cavalry.

		The Suwalki Cavalry Brigade, stationed at the frontier of East Prussia, near the border of Lithuania, was composed of three cavalry regiments, one artillery regiment, and a group of light armored cars.
		His article makes clear that he was a junior officer in the Polish cavalry at the beginning of the Second World War and participated in the cavalry charge he describes.

	Encyclopedia: Kwan dao
		Chinese Saber Dao 刀 (Py dāo, Wade-Giles tao1) is a category of single-edge Chinese swords primarily used for slashing and chopping (sabers), often called broadswords in English because some varieties have wide blades.
		While it could be used from horseback, the Guan Dao could also be used by infantry as an anti-personnel and anti-cavalry weapon.
		According to legend, the guan dao (or Guan's big knife/sword) is said to have been invented by the famous general Guan Yu during the early 3rd century AD.

	Articles - Nathan Bedford Forrest
		He was known to be a hard rider and fierce swordsman (he sharpened both the top and bottom edges of his heavy saber), skills he used to great effect during battle.
		Forrest's early successes gained a promotion (July) to brigadier general and he was given command of a Confederate cavalry brigade.
		Many students of warfare have come to appreciate Forrest's somewhat novel approach to cavalry deployment and quick hit-and-run tactics, and how this may have affected mobile tactics in the modern mechanized era.

	US Model 1860 Light Cavalry Saber
		The Light Cavalry Saber of 1860 was meant to replace the 1840 Heavy Cavalry, but this transition was not to come until after the Civil War.

		A Heavy Cavalry unit was more "heavily armed" whereas a Light Cavalry unit was "lightly" armed.

		These large 2-handed sabers were first used by the Northern Border Troops under the command of Ming General Qi Jiguang in the late 1560s-70s to deal with Mongol cavalry, and remained in use right up to the late Ming (1620s-1644).
		In the mid-Qing, there appears to be several Imperial sabers, commissioned by Emperor Qianlong and by other high-ranking officials, and made by the Imperial Workshops, which have a ridged cross-section and 2 fullers, one long and one short, on both sides of the blade.
		This beautiful blade, a variant of the yanmaodao (goosequill saber), is presently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

	Absolute Anime / Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs
		Unlike the characters in "Voltron", who were pretty much left to fend for themselves, the Star Sheriffs in "Saber Rider" are more mobile across the galaxy, and have ample logistical support, and provide a wide range of superb interaction with each other, in each of their stories.
		Star Sheriffs are duly-deputized special operatives of Cavalry Command, Earth's space-going law enforcement arm and defense patrol organization out in space, and along the New Frontier.
		In fact, Saber Rider's own personal horse Steed, is actually a highly advanced mechanical robot horse that can fly, like a mythical pegasus, only mechanized.

		Though you guys might like to see my digital recreation of what a Qing Imperial zhanmadao would look like, based on the original photo of Scott's Rodell's extremely rare Imperial 2-handed saber......FYI, the original zhanmadao is over 1.5 meters long.
		The elite Northern Border Troops under the command of Ming General Qi Jiguang during the the 1570s-80s had also used another type of 2-handed saber known as the "changdao"; its design inspired by the Japanese nodachi.
