Swords and sabers could dominate battles and this was certainly the case in the hands of experienced cavalrymen. In contrast to gunshot wounds, wounds caused by the saber could be treated quite easily and caused fewer casualties. In 18th and 19th century France, not only manuals about the use of foil and epee were published, but also some important works on the military saber: de Saint Martin, Alexandre Muller… The saber was not only used in individual fights against the enemy, but also as a duelling weapon in the French army. 2016 artículo científico 2064-0404 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=663972472004 10.1515/apd-2016-0004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6639 Acta Periodica Duellatorum application/pdf Universität Bern Acta Periodica Duellatorum (Suiza) Num.1 Vol.4 |
