It is always really exciting to find a completely new sabre fencing source which you haven't seen before and which isn't already mentioned in a big database (e.g. Schola Gladiatoria's link farm). [1]
The most interesting drawing of this book [2]
Franz Chalaupka:
Leitfaden zum Unterricht im Säbel-Fechten.
Für Truppenschulen der K.& K. Armee (1875)
The content of this German book:
I. Abteilung
II. und III.
IV. Abteilung
Lieutenant Franz Chalaupka of the 39th Infantry Regiment was a fencing master at a cadet school in Vienna. At the moment I haven't searched for further details of his military carrier.
And finally the most important thing: link to the online version.

- SAGA's database has already listed this source, without providing a link to the online version of Chalaupka's fencing book.
- Unfortunately the only one :-((
