Wow! That's a wonderful resource, and I'm greatly appreciative. It's also nice to see a reference to Polish Hussar Supply----I'd drooled over the website a few times, but wasn't sure how HEMA-philiac they were.
Edited to add: I'm sure Matthew Korenkiewicz at MyArmoury.com would LOVE this, even if he's not active in HEMA. His enthusiasm for the Polish saber did a lot to spark my own interest.

Nice. I've actually been looking for something like this.
Also, other than Polish Hussar Supply, what are other good sources for hussar sabers? They seem to be nigh impossible to find.

I'd look to Europe. Somewhere I've got a list of Euro sword makers who do sabers, but I don't have it to hand right now. I don't have any personal experience with any of them.

I'm glad folkes are enjoying this.
At the end of the PDF there is a list of places that we worked with.
Dave Baker of Hollywood combat center has been my favorite maker. He's a swordsman who knows how a blade should feel and he is willing to customize what we want. Richard has a sharp steel saber that he made that feels lovely in your hand. Baker also will do low polish work or super nice movie prop work.

Daria Izdebska has just finished her translation of Michał Starzewski’s 1830's polish saber manual “On Fencing” (c.1830s), www.historical-academy.co.uk/rep ... encing.pdf |
