USMA Sword

[SARGE]

Gents,

 

I picked up a nice example of a current United States Military Academy (USMA) sword over the weekend that I thought I would show. This sword was made by WKC in Solingen Germany and is so marked on the blade. Interestingly, WKC has used their early pre-war logo of a Kings head and a Knights head showing the Imperial German period merging of Weyersberg and Kirschbaum into WK&C. The sword is etched with "USMA" on the obverse blade and has the military academy logo on the obverse guard. It has matching dates and numbers on the back of the sword guard and scabbard. The sword came complete with the blue cloth WKC sword bag with a drawstring at the top opening.
