I think they did not. A painting I remember shows Custer holding a sabre, and the caption said it was an inaccurracy because the 7th did not have them at the battle. I have not read the book Son of the Mornings Star yet, but the TV miniseries shows the troopers turning in their sabres, presumably to carry more food and/or ammunition.
