Elegant U.S. Army officer’s saber of the Model 1902 pattern, featuring a finely etched blade with decorative foliate motifs and patriotic elements. The ricasso is marked “N.S. MEYER INC. / NEW YORK” and “Made in U.S.A.,” a well-known military outfitter supplying officer-grade swords. The hilt is fitted with a protective guard and a black composite grip with finger grooves, retaining its original leather sword knot. The blade exhibits a graceful curve typical of the pattern, designed primarily for ceremonial and dress wear rather than combat. The accompanying metal scabbard follows the standard form with suspension rings for belt carry. The Model 1902 saber was adopted in 1902 and remains the regulation dress sword for U.S. Army officers, symbolizing rank and service in formal settings.
