MODEL 1903 ENLISTED MAN’S SABER KNOT – VERY GOOD CONDITION – ARSENAL MARKED AND DATED:  As illustrated in the 1905 Cavalry Equipment manual, this is a very good example of the Model 1903 Enlisted Man’s Saber Knot. 

The regulation pattern, this knot is in very good condition, with an even dark brown color and is not oil soaked.  The leather is overall strong with no weak points and showing only minimal signs of wear and aging.  The tassel section is full form with all of the pieces of fringe intact and flexible.  The strap is full length and bears several unit applied inventory stamps, as well as a mostly legible Rock Island Arsenal stamp with the date – 1903 – with the inspector’s initials.  The fastening loop and button are intact and present, as are both of the slides.  

These Model 1903 Sabre Knots were not particularly robust in design nor were they made of heavy leather as were some of the earlier pattern knots, so they’re survival rate, especially in this condition, is relatively low.  Overall, this is a very nice specimen and would enhance any of the Model 1905, 1906 or 1912 Enlisted Sabres.  (0608)  $200
