Just saw this on Facebook. New book with fascinating historic uniforms. One of the pages shows that, indeed, there was calvary employing long swords.

That looks like a Must Buy book for me as I grow my collection of Philippine weapons from this era. Also like the Remington Rolling Blocks! I had a Spanish-made licensed RB (Spanish American War bringback) which is most likely what these soldiers were carrying.
