Lüneschloss with Scabbard Russian Ordnance as different makers used slightlyOriginal Item: Only One Available. The model 1840 saber, often called the wrist breaker, was a relatively heavy cavalry saber. This sword was manufactured before the Civil War so it saw extensive use by both sides during the war. On the ricasso there is only one marking, P. D. L. in an oval, which indicates that it was manufactured by P D Lneschloss, Solingen Prussia. P. D. L. was one of the oldest and most respected German manufactures of swords.
