{"product_id":"u-s-1860-heavy-cavalry-saber","title":"U.s. 1860 Heavy Cavalry Saber","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe blade is made from 1050 High Carbon Steel with a hard spring temper and will pass the British Proof Test.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Blade Length: 36\"\u003cbr\u003e- Overall Length: 41 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e- Steel: 1055 Carbon\u003cbr\u003e- Weight: 42.9 oz\u003cbr\u003e- Handle: 5 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e- Scabbard: Steel Scabbard","brand":"Cold Steel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15226762690626,"sku":"42630","price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0086\/9043\/4114\/products\/GS42630.jpg?v=1555719949","url":"https:\/\/greensupply4.myshopify.com\/products\/u-s-1860-heavy-cavalry-saber","provider":"greensupply4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
