Dear Fellow Collectors, Researchers and Care Takers of Militaria,

I have a USMC Officers Mameluke Sword. It is serialized. Is there a searchable registry to find out to who was the original owner?

Thanks much.

The serial number likely does not relate to the Marine who carried it. Is it a three digit number in the 300 range? Many Mamelukes were named on the blade, if yours is not, it is unlikely you will be able to trace it to the owner. Kevin

The serial number  is not the number of the sword but of the certificate of the document which approved the manufacturer to sell the sword as meeting all the standards for use by the Marines.   I wish  I had a list of all the serial numbers, when they were used, and by which companies.  It would help date them.

Thanks for the quick responses. The info really helps. The serial number is in the 300 range and is not named. 

Again, thanks much.
