I was looking up "straight sabre" on the web and came across a site with great illustrations for authors writing Gelack duels, entitled POLISH SABER FENCING FROM THE XVIth TO THE XVIIIth CENTURIES. The sketches illustrate attacks and defenses beyond what is legal in modern sport fencing but confirms that most the moves at issue would be familiar to a modern fencer.
