Before working as on-set military advisors ourselves, we probably reacted much the same way. But after spending time in

We have some great new arrivals into the Sabre Militaria website store of Military Antiques of many types.

The Jeep was used in an upcoming epic film about a famous incident in the Vietnam War and we cannot wait to see its screen debut when this movie comes out. For its work in the film the little green beast had a complete mechanical overall, a new Nam e

Several of the Sabre team volunteer at this wonderful local Light Horse Museum. It does a sensational job of keeping the ANZAC Spirit and Light Horse History alive.

As Sabre is a proud local Mudgeeraba business, and one of the Directors having served with the modern Australian Army 2 nd /14 th Light Horse Regiment RAAC, we are prou
