Product Questions

I was wondering what time period this model is from.

Question by: Steve on Jan 13, 2019, 9:14:00 AM

This saber used by Army officers today is based on the 1902 model.

What’s the appropriate length officer’s saber for a 6’1” male?

Question by: Steve on Feb 5, 2019, 4:01:00 PM

Measuring yourself for a sword or saber is the best way to confirm the proper blade size as it's dependent upon your height and your arm length. Here is a link to our website describing in detail how to measure yourself for the correct sword length. https://www.marlowwhite.com/military-sword-information/m-measuring-sword-length.html Please let us know if you need any additional assistance or have any questions.

I have my grandfather's US Army officers ceremonial dress sword and scabard. The encased blade shines as If it was just polished yesterday. What is that metal composed of?
However, my other question is about the scabbed and other exposed parts of the sword . I don't know what that metal is either and would like to polish it but don't know what to use . My search for answers led me to your website.
With Many Thanks , E,M.

Are the army officer sabers sharp edged?

Question by: Chris on May 3, 2019, 12:28:00 AM

Marlow White only retails certified military sword or saber which are a decoration to be used for ceremonial purposes.

All of our swords and saber are hand crafted in Germany by WKC and meet all military certifications. US military swords or saber are not to be used as a weapon. Therefore we do not sharpen them.

Also, it would not be our recommendation to have one of our swords or saber sharpened locally. This would cause damage and jeopardize the integrity of the sword.

Looking at a sabre for my wife and myself. Can both sides be etched?

Question by: John Helms on Jan 19, 2018, 5:08:00 PM

No, Sir. We do not etch both sides of the swords & sabers with the decorative acid etch. There is a small etch box on one side of the blade for your personalized etch placement. For those who are wanting a second etch, we have suggested a scabbard etch. The etch would be between the scabbard rings, matching the etch on the blade, either historic or rotated.

Please reference this link for a visual of the acid etch and the etch box placement for all of our swords. https://www.marlowwhite.com/laser-etching

Is your saber sword has a sharp edge

Question by: Lance Flores on Oct 27, 2019, 10:50:57 AM

All of our swords and sabers, hand crafted in Germany by WKC, meet all military specifications which call for a ceremonial blade and not a sharpened one. US military swords or saber are designed for ceremonial functions and are to be used as a weapon. Therefore, none of the swords or sabers have a sharpened edge to them.

Is etching done only on one side, or is it available on both sides?

Question by: John Helms on Mar 31, 2017, 11:40:00 AM

For this particular sword. Etching is only available on one side due to the ornamental acid etch designed on the blade. Please visit the following link for etch information for all of out swords > https://www.marlowwhite.com/laser-etching

For an active duty Army Officer saber, do you recommend historical or rotational placement for etching?

-3

Question by: Louann Thoennes on Nov 8, 2017, 6:24:00 PM

We highly recommend the rotated etch. That etch is the most favorable one based off customer feedback. Although both historic and rotated are permissible for an active duty officer.

What is the difference in etching between this sword and the Warrant Officer sword?

-18

Question by: Zach Baugher on Sep 24, 2018, 7:00:00 PM

The Army saber has the traditional etch design dating back to 1902. The Warrant Officer saber is a commemorative piece celebrating the Warrant Officer Corps' 100th anniversary. Its etch design includes the words "Army Warrant Officer Corps Centennial 1918-2018". In addition, it contains aspects of the Warrant Officer Corps including branch insignia and the Rising Eagle crest. You can see the etch up close by clicking the blade images on this page: https://www.marlowwhite.com/army-wo-saber-and-scabbard

Answer by: James Hogwood (Admin) on Sep 25, 2018, 2:28:00 PM

Are the number of characters on the officer sword limited to 19 characters? Is there a way to extend it to 30 like the NCOs?

-33

Question by: Patty on Jan 30, 2017, 1:44:00 PM

Ma'am,
Yes, the characters of the officer's sword are limited to 19 characters due to the acid etch on the blade. The NCO sword does not have a decorative etch on the blade, leaving room to etch up to 30 characters.
