I must be honest when I say I dont know a great deal about these swords, and most of them dont look like they're up to much, but I've been looking at his British Light Cavalry Sabre and as its around £65 and the Cold Steel one I've ordered is £220 I'm sure you can tell the obvious difference in quality.
anyway here's a few pics
It's sold as full tang and carbon steel but for £65 I have serious doubts over its quality. Anyone wish to educate me on this matter?

I prefer the Glad to the sabre...
Sabre blade is a nice design but the fittings scream "garage days" to me...
(I know you'll get that reference Larn...

Blade on the sabre looks disgustingly crap compared to the cold steel one too
