Briquet sabre, marto

The lightsaber is a hand-to-hand combat weapon of the Napoleonic Wars. It is a short, slightly curved, gold-handled sword carried by most infantry units, including standard-bearers, musicians and engineers. The briquette sabre was introduced around 1780. However, soldiers found that bayonets or the butts of their muskets were more suitable for hand-to-hand combat, and the briquette sabre was ordered to be abandoned in 1807. However, some regiments continued to use it until 1815. The briquette, the short, easy-to-handle sabre, like other weapons of the period, has its origins in the French Revolution, and Napoleonic infantry, artillery and grenadier troops were subsequently equipped with it.
