Spanish Artillery 1907 Model Sword With Scabbard

The Spanish Artillery 1907 Model Sword with Scabbard is a regulation sidearm introduced for use by artillery units in Spain in the early 20th century. This model features a straight, double-edged steel blade approximately 23.5 inches (60 cm) in length, designed for both thrusting and cutting. The hilt incorporates a brass guard with a distinctive D-shaped knuckle bow and a ribbed grip, commonly made from molded black composite or wood. The sword includes a steel scabbard fitted with a frog stud for attachment to a belt. Issued during a period of modernization within the Spanish military, the 1907 Model was intended to replace earlier sabre patterns and standardize equipment across artillery units. This type is identifiable by Spanish military inspection stamps and manufacturing marks, often found on the blade ricasso and the guard. The sword and scabbard together provide an example of the sidearms used by Spanish artillery personnel prior to the widespread adoption of the bayonet
