[QUOTE="Frank_138, post: 9470407, member: 16300"]I have not seen the documentary you mentioned, but I will look for it now. The M1796 light cavalry sabre was definitely very capable. I read somewhere that the heavy 1796 sabre was actually disliked very much by the troops. Since the Prussian edged weapon manufacturer were mostly occupied by France until 1814 there were not many M1811 produced by the time of the Waterloo battle. The majority of the Prussian cavalry units were equipped up until and including Waterloo battle with British M1796 light cavalry sabres.[/QUOTE]
