2020年7月28日 · There were probably only a half-dozen or so pre-WWII makers of M1902 sabers, mostly German, and an unknown, but high, number of assemblers and retailers. Most of the markings you see on commercial M1902s are from the assemblers or retailers.

When did Army officers change from attaching the M1902 officer's …
2021年1月29日 · Certainly by the 1930s (perhaps the late 1920s), officers were attaching their M1902 sabers to the far side of the cantle.

Saber Knot Identification - EDGED WEAPONS - U.S. Militaria Forum
2008年6月5日 · I think the leather M1902 knot would be correct for officers, but I have a theory. The "regulation" M1902 leather knot is designed to be used with a button piece, and the guard of the M1902 has a slot to specifically accept a button piece....as mentioned in the thread over at the Military Horse forum, there is a flat-strap version of the M1902 ...
M1902 Sword Hangers - EDGED WEAPONS - U.S. Militaria Forum
2009年9月13日 · I picked up a new set of US M1902 sword hangers this weekend. These were made by Horstmann in Philadelphia and are so marked on the top clip.
