History and Care
The M1860 saber was the standard weapon of the US Cavalry from 1859 until the end of the Indian Wars. Despite its status, it earned the nickname "Old Wristbreaker" among soldiers due to its weight and balance during prolonged drilling.
Important Note: This item is sold exclusively for decoration. The blade is made of carbon steel and is susceptible to rust; regular maintenance with oil (e.g., WD-40) is recommended. Store in a dry place.
