NCO Artillery and Cavalry Saber

Product overview

The Sciabola Sottufficiale Artiglieria e Cavalleria is a ceremonial service sword designed for non-commissioned officers in artillery and cavalry units; a Maresciallo variant follows the same style with similar fittings. This product is intended for military personnel (Esercito) and qualified collectors who meet legal requirements.

Definition: a traditionally styled military sword with a slightly curved blade and protective guard, built for ceremonial and duty use in military and tactical contexts. It suits collectors, ceremonial duty, and military surplus buyers looking for authentic gear.

Main features

Built for balance, durability and formal wear, the sword combines classic styling with practical construction for duty and display.

• Guard: slightly wider guard for improved hand protection.
• Cap: semicylindrical cap (cappetta) for traditional appearance.
• Grip: smooth handle for secure, comfortable hold.
• Blade: wide, slightly curved blade in AISI 420 steel for rust resistance and durability.
• Fit: regulated length for correct wear and extraction when carried in the scabbard.

How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: use this sword primarily for ceremonial duty, parades, and formal military wear where regulation swords are required. It is not intended for combat use.

In most cases, the sword is worn on the left side and secured to belt straps; when placed in its scabbard and set on the ground, the top of the grip should reach about 15 cm (approx. 6 in) below the wearer’s waist to meet standard fit rules. It also serves as an authentic piece for military surplus collectors and tactical display.

Care and notes

Basic care keeps the AISI 420 blade and fittings serviceable and presentable; follow legal requirements for ownership and transport.

• Keep the blade clean and lightly oiled to limit corrosion; wipe before storing.
• Store in the scabbard in a dry place away from prolonged humidity.
• Handle with care—this is a bladed weapon; follow local rules and unit regulations when displaying or transporting.
• Sale is restricted: proof of military service or a prefectural license (art. 28 TULPS) is required for collectors.
