- Biography:
- Like Zorro, I prefer to keep some things to myself. Actually, my work requires me to keep a low profile, so ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies. I travel a lot. I know very little about the Internet; someone else had to do all the hard work with this site. I do like swords.
I also like God, a dying breed, rarity through self-preoccupation, sadly fueled by cheap easy "answers" by so-called scientists. Who says "God doesn't exist"? Strange, because God transcends time. In fact, time is the essence, the DNA, the skeleton of God. So we have only to fulfill our destiny to help fulfill God in the future for God to exist now. So how is it that God does not exist? The more I travel, the more people I meet, the more time I spend living, the more I know God exists.

Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd & thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turn'd in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack & Russian
Reel'd from the sabre-stroke,
Shatter'd & sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.

1796 Pattern British heavy cavalry trooper's sword.
by Scabbard on 05-10-2011 at 08:42 AM
The 1796P heavy cavalry trooper's sword was a much needed replacement for the awful 1788P, which British Major John Gaspard Le Marchant, the man behind the change in pattern, was informed by British army surgeons caused many wounds to their British cavalrymen holders and mounts!
Actually a copy of the Austrian M1775 Pallasche, the 1796P HC had a straight 35 inch hatchet pointed, single broad fullered blade and a round disc guard.
1796 Pattern British light cavalry sabre
by Scabbard on 03-10-2011 at 04:11 AM
The 1796P British light cavalry sabre was the bane of the French Imperial Army; a highly effective slashing weapon that carved soldiers up like hams, leaving them badly or mortally wounded rather than inflicting a quick kill as was considered proper by the French.
The history of the 1796P LC.
After the so-called Flanders expedition and participation in the June 1793 cavalry trials amongst fellow European armies, British Major John Gaspard
The mysterious An XIII sabre Monsieur B of Klingenthal
by Scabbard on 13-08-2011 at 04:38 AM
An antique sword mystery, about the famous Napoleonic French An XIII trooper swords and sabres no less! Or perhaps this tale should read "The power of supposition leading to trusted documented misinformation!" Where someone's theory ends up becoming documented fact, when in fact the theory is flawed, nay, false.
I have read with interest certain notable sword experts, who shall remain nameless for the sake of peace in sword heaven, who exclaim that most of the French An XIII
