Polish Army Officer’s Saber Pattern 1921/22 – Universal Swords

The 1921 / 1922 Pattern Polish Military Officer’s Saber was the primary interwar military sword for the Polish military. This careful reproduction by Universal Swords recreates the details and even the manufacturer and armory markings of an original example. The tempered blade is forged from 1055 high carbon steel and bears the reproduced stamped signature of the manufacturer A. MANN, WARSZAWA, AMA. The back of the blade has the stamp of the munitions inspector, the national eagle and production No. 1152. The hilt is finely cast from polished brass and the wooden grip is bound in black leather and bound in braided brass. The sword has a scabbard of steel with steel hanging rings and the scabbard also bears the matching stamped production markings to match the blade.
