Also in those wars sabres weren't used? Thats quite depressing.
So all in all there weren't used Swords, Sabres or something else in the whole WW1 (except of the cavalry)?
And one last question ( ): How did the officers defended theirselves if it came hand to hand? I don't know much about swagger sticks but I don't think they do hurt that much compared to sharpened steel.

That's awesome! I am saving up money for something similar to use hunting (but it doesn't have a bayonet damn it!):Grant4455 said:A revolver, especially the Webley .455 the British officers were issued with, which was often converted into a carbine with bayonet and stock, made a very convenient melee weapon. The C96 had a similar conversion.
