Reproduction OLD WRISTBREAKER US Model 1840 SABER
Description: Reproduction OLD WRISTBREAKER US Model 1840 SABER American HEAVY CAVALRY Sword Based on FRENCH Sabre Here we present a reproduction Ames U.S. Model 1840 Heavy Cavalry or Dragoon Saber, nicknamed “Old Wristbreaker”, made in 1851 in Cabotville, Massachusetts. The Model 1840 was the second cavalry saber adopted by the U.S. after the M1833. The M1840 actually reached back further to the French M1822 for its inspiration. It was heavy and made for slashing during the cavalry charge with its swept back blade shape. Its moniker, “Old Wristbreaker”, was quite fitting. It served through the Mexican American War, and even though a new blade was adopted in the Model 1860 Light Cavalry Saber, the M1840 saw fighting from both the Union and Confederate points of view. The ricasso reads “U.S./ADK/1862” on the right side. The left reads “AMES MFG. CO./CHICOPEE/MASS.” “4323” is stamped on the basket. The overall condition of this piece is very good. The metal surfaces are bright. Leather grips is fully intact, as is the wire wrap. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Blade is 36 inches in length. Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $550 #30113 SOLD |
