best price for the sword - www.totalnavy.com - almost 30% less than some other places and the same quality - I checked the one from them against my husband's 39 year old one.

They also have the sword knots at a much lower price but with quality

Does anyone know how much the NCO sword is on a Marine Corps base?

[Sparrowhawk]

last month said they run into $3-400.00.


I still have one sword left if you are interested.
The price on this one is $150 plus $20.00 postage...

yo Sparrowhawk............i am interested in the sword but can't do anything til the first of next month. Let me know if this is ok with you. Do you want a money order or what for it? Semper Fi Smitty

[Sgt. Smitty]

only got one question tho........whattup with the star of david on the sword?

[Fred Pfeiffer]

It is generally believed that the "Star of David" symbol was likely used to signify that the blade was manufactured using the Damascus steel method and has nothing to do with the Jewish religious symbol.

The Damascus steel method was and still is the absolute best manufacturing method for combat sword blades designed to withstand direct hits against another blade weapon. It is not usually used for ceremonial blades that are the norm for most US military swords today. Just too expensive.

There is further discussion of the subject at this URL:

I hope this helps answer your question.

In case anyone is interested, I found Marine NCO (replica) dress swords on e-bay. They would be good enough for a display.

[Sgt. Smitty]

These swords are up for bid starting around 29 bucks, ya might want to check into them if all you want is one for a display
