Reddit reviews The Polish Saber

If you've already done Oly sabre, you just need a slightly heavier training weapon - Danelli Armouries just came up with a new one for 200quid. Or just keep using your Oly ones. Between them and synthetic sabres, there's very little in terms of advantage (metal is better but they're too light. synethic sucks!). You could try the boffers from Silk Fencing - they're a lot of fun. Blackfencer from Spain also do a synthetic sabre too which are passable but (being plastic) they have their own problems. Could try single-sticks, which were traditionally used to train military sabre.

Otherwise you can just fence away - loads of military sabre styles are available to choose from; the mos widely available (and free) is Alfred Hutton's Cold Steel but get gets a resounding meh out of 5 from me. There are a couple of Italian ones (Radelli) which seem quite good but for my money the Polish stuff looks the most fun.

Richard Marsden's book on the subject.

He's also got a number of blogs and articles about it around the internet. He's probably the biggest authority on the subject outside of Poland.

I agree. I'm an instructor for my local HEMA group so I'm a bit biased towards historical melee weapons and their various applications. I think I was being downvoted because at first glance I was being a neckbeard, but if grown men (ex-marines at that) are neckbeards for recreating historical combat techniques, then so be it.

And if you're looking to read the book on Polish Saber, it was written by Richard Marsden and it is available on Amazon. It's more of a how to manual than a sit down read, but there are a fair amount of interesting historical anecdotes throughout.
