Original US Army M1903 Officer Dress Sword

This American officer's dress sword features a straight steel blade with detailed etchings. The hilt consists of a plated steel guard with floral cutouts and a wire-wrapped composite grip, paired with a plated steel scabbard. Adopted in 1903, this model served as the standard dress sword for United States Army officers. Carried during the First World War, this pattern represented the officer's commission and was worn during official ceremonies and parades. The blade is etched with military trophies, scrolls, and the inscription "U.S." The guard features a scrolled design, and the scabbard retains its two suspension rings with minor surface pitting.
