Looking for a distinctive symbol of the struggle for independence and the storied glory of Polish arms? The Polish wz. 1917 Infantry Officer Saber (“My Pierwsza Brygada” / We Are the First Brigade) is a breathtaking replica of a luxury edged weapon, patterned after the celebrated masterpiece created in Kraków in the workshop of Henryk Sztorc. The historical original (described extensively in works by Paweł Komorowski) was forged to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the Polish Legions, becoming an object of desire for every patriot. The richly etched blade pays homage to the legendary deeds of Józef Piłsudski and his frontline soldiers.
This is far from a standard display sword. This model is a fully functional, hand-forged combat training saber. Highly resilient spring steel allows for professional light cutting practice. While delivered factory unsharpened for safe handling, its blade geometry and temper readily support honing to a razor-sharp cutting edge. It makes an elite presentation gift and a first-rate choice for advanced historical reenactors, military officers, and connoisseurs seeking a tangible connection to the history of the Polish Second Republic.
Key Features & Specifications:
○1060 Carbon Steel Blade (approx. 37.4 in / 95 cm): Hand-forged and tempered to 52–54 HRC for outstanding elasticity and resilience. Features a distinct raised ridge along the double-edged foible (pióro) and an off-center point. The spine of the blade is also tastefully decorated.
○Intricate Historical Acid Etchings: The inner blade face bears a decorative oak-leaf cartouche inscribed with the initials L.P. (Polish Legions) and the dedication: 6 / VIII / MY / PIERWSZA / BRYGADA. Below, set against a cannon barrel and crossed sabers, sits the historic “For Faithful Service” badge dated 1914. The outer blade face displays the crowned Polish Eagle, the year 1919, and the momentous motto: ZA / WIARĘ / ZA / WOLNOŚĆ / ZA HONOR / OJCZYZNY (For Faith, For Freedom, For the Honor of the Fatherland).
○Ornate Brass Hilt: Closed stirrup-style guard with crossguard quillons and triangular langets. The knuckle bow joins the pommel cap, which is crested by a sculpted crowned Polish Eagle. The ergonomic wooden grip is bound in genuine black leather and wound with fine brass wire filigree.
○Polished Scabbard with Leather Lining: Polished steel scabbard equipped with two bands featuring loose carrying rings and an asymmetric drag. Notably, the scabbard is fitted with an internal leather liner that significantly shields the high carbon steel blade from oxidation while sheathed.
○Dimensions & Weight: Substantial cavalry-grade reach with an overall length of 42.9 in (109 cm) without scabbard. Weighs approx. 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg) alone and 4.2 lbs (1.92 kg) with the scabbard. Blade width at the ricasso is 1.1 in (2.8 cm).
○FREE Precision Laser Engraving: We provide complimentary custom laser dedication engraving directly on the saber blade. To take advantage of this service, simply enter your custom text in the “Order Notes” box during checkout.
Note: Because genuine high carbon steel is used throughout, the polished steel surfaces (blade and scabbard) require periodic cleaning and light oiling to guard against surface corrosion.
