Hi GAC,
I have read about the Roby saber a couple times, but, most recently in John Thillmann's Civil War Cavalry & Artillery Sabers On Pg 302; " for students of Roby sabers it may be of interest to note that one of George Armstrong Custer's cavalry sabers was a Roby enlisted model with an 1864 dated blade. It comes with a family provenance and may be seen in a 1995 dated Butterfield and Butterfield auction catalog, which also included a number of other Custer items."
I can't recall were I read about Custers collection of swords and unfortunately most of my books are in storage, If I do remember I will post it.
Hi Tom,
I have seen a number of European broadswords with this motto on them, and most recently on another thread a Caucasian saber.
All the Best.
Jeff
