Light brigade weapon?
The British light cavalry carried the Lance & Sabre. I am unsure if the carbine was also carried, probably not. I assume the Q refers to Balaclava in 1854. Officers of Lancers, Light Dragoons and Hussars carried the Pattern 1822 Light Cavalry Officer's Sword. Other Ranks were issued with the Pattern 1821 Light Cavalry Sword. It is also possible that some troopers carried the newly issued Pattern 1853 Cavalry Sword. Other Ranks of Hussars and Light Dragoons had Model 1842 "Victoria" Carbines and Lancers a 9-foot-long ash hafted lance. Lancers had Pattern 1842 pistols as did Sergeants Major of Light Dragoons and Hussars. There was also a smattering of Model 1851 Colt Navy Revolvers, Deane Adams and Deane revolvers and other non-regulation arms, usually carried by officers.

In the US, prior to 1942, the US Cavalry was a mounted arm (horse units). It's missions were to exploit gaps made in enemy lines, conduct screening/security, and reconnaissance missions. The last US Horse Cavalry unit to fight from horse back was the US 26th Cavalry, which attacked Japanese light tanks in the Philippines during WWII in 1942.

What is the sharpest sword?
There is no best sword in the world, only best sword for a specific person or purpose in mind. You would probably not use the same sword in rank-and-file formation as you would in a duel. It would also be unwise to fight a spearman with the same sword as you would another swordsman. It has always come down to the age-old question - cut or thrust? Most swords are a compromise of the two. There is no sword ever made that can do both effectively. If you go back to Roman times, the legionary used a short thrusting sword called a "gladius". It was about 2' long, straight and had a point. It was very effective in their style of combat - packed together and up close, no room to swing a long, cutting sword. The British cavalry had a history of changing its mind when it came to swords and adopted both types of swords, cutting and thrusting, at different times. Look at the sword "Sharpe" used on TV, a heavy cavalry sabre, very straight and very long. Existing at the same time was the 1796 Pattern Light Cavalry Sabre, a very curved weapon, modelled on the Indian sword called a "tulwar". This sabre was hailed at the time to be the finest cavalry sword ever made and was even adopted by the Germans for about 150 years. Yet this sword was replaced by the 1908 Pattern Cavalry Trooper's Sabre, a totally different design, long and straight with an angled hilt so as to make the weapon and arm as one long line. This too was hailed as the finest cavalry sword made. So there you have it, one sword for cutting and another sword for thrusting, both equally efficient for the task they're intended for but totally different. Take your pick!
