Steel scabbard. 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.
