US Marine Corps Officer's Saber
Manufacture ID: 88MOS
These blades are faithful in every detail to government specifications they offer highly polished blades, appropriate etching and quality hilts and scabbards.
The only real changes Cold Steel has made is to drastically improve their performance as weapons by forging them from 1050 Carbon Steel and properly heat treating them to a tough spring temper before sharpening.
In the case of the Marine Corps Officer's Saber, Cold Steel has changed the hilt to solid mirror polished brass (not easily worn gold plate) and improved the attachment of the tang to the hilt so it could better withstand the rigors of sword to sword combat.
