This is the first major turn from "combat" to "dress" style swords for the US Army. It was intended to replace the Model 1872 Cavalry "Officer's" Saber. This new saber was to be carried by all Army officer's, regardless of branch, with the only exception being Chaplains.
The Model 1902 is very similar to European patterns of the time. It has a nickel-plated iron hilt with black composition grip.
Blade is marked DEFENDER TRADE MARK and was sold by NS Meyer Inc. of New York. Alongside the NS Meyer logo is squirrel logo of Carl Eickhorn of Solingen, Germany and is marked WEST GERMANY. Blade length is ~30-3/4" and is in very-good condition with a few very minor flaws.
