WWII US Army Officer's Sword -
A sword is a long, edged piece of metal, used in many civilizations throughout the world, primarily as a cutting or thrusting weapon and occasionally for clubbing.

As technology advances, the place for the sword as a weapon has diminished. Its role now is that of a show of status and pride. Perhaps the last modern American sword design for combat was the Patton saber .
