At the outbreak of the American civil War, there were two types of Sabers issued to the Federal cavalry: "light" and "heavy". the light version was popular, but the heavy model, Dubbed the "old wrist breaker" was the one Worth owning, as it was a superior weapon. Its 36" blade offered big reach advantages over most Sabers, and its substantial weight gave it the leverage to easily crush bones and sever limbs or even a head with a single blow. The brass guard had three bars to protect the hand and the grip was wire bound leather and capped with a sturdy pommel. In its double ringed, steel scabbard, it could be easily attached to a saddle or to a belt. The blade is made from 1050 high carbon steel with a hard spring Temper and will pass the British proof test.
