The NCO sword was originally called the mameluke sword. This sword has a distinct curved blade and a hilt with a crossguard. It is often associated with non-commissioned officers in various military branches, symbolizing their authority and leadership.
The mameluke sword originated from the Middle East and was adopted by Western military organizations, including the United States military. It has a rich history and is considered a prestigious symbol of rank and tradition.
The term "sergeant's sword" is not the original name for the NCO sword, as the mameluke sword predates its use in military contexts. The mameluke sword holds significance in military ceremonies and represents honor, respect, and discipline among NCOs.
