The Briquet Saber was a melee weapon used in Napoleonic Wars. It is a short, slightly curved sword with a golden handle, and was carried by most infantry units, including flag-bearers, musicians and engineers.

The real-life saber briquet was introduced around 1780, however, soldiers found that in close quarters, bayonets or the stocks of their muskets were better suited for combat, and the order was given to abandon the saber briquet in 1807. Some regiments continued to carry them until 1815 though.
