Product information "US 1860 Heavy Cavalry Saber"

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. After examining and handling a number of original 1860 Heavy Cavalry Sabers, we decided to make our own reproduction with a few improvements. Our blade is made from 1050 high carbon steel with a hard spring temper and will pass the British Proof Test.

Ausgewogen, optisch sehr schön und dekotariv, klasse verarbeitung, hat eben seinen preis, leider aus dem text nicht erkennbar - made in india und nicht in usa, muß aber kein makel sein.

Dieser lange, gut verarbeitete und elegante Säbel ist sehr schwer. Es erfordert einige Übung, bis man sich an sein hohes Gewicht gewöhnt hat. Ich habe deshalb den Napoleon-Säbel aus dem Hause Cold-Steel wegen der größeren Handlichkeit vorgezogen.
