The Mameluke sword, which was originally given to Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon in 1805 by a Mameluke chieftain in North Africa. Lt O'Bannon and his Marines marched across 600 miles of North African desert to rid the "shores of Tripoli" of pirates. By 1825, all Marine Corps Officers carried the Mameluke sword.
The Marine Corps is the only branch of the United States military that currently authorizes the wear of a sword, known as the Mameluke sword. This tradition dates back to the early 19th century when Marines fought against Barbary pirates. The sword symbolizes their rich history and traditions and is mainly used for ceremonial purposes.
Jeremiah Workman is a former U.S. Marine Corps infantryman who served in Iraq. He has written a memoir titled "Shadow of the Sword: A Marine's Journey of War, Heroism, and Redemption" where he describes his experiences in combat and struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Branch of Service, scabbard and frog as well as overall condition will determine the value. Naval Swords were produced in lesser quantities and Marine Corps Swords of the Civil War era are almost non-existent. An equal quality Army sword has about half the value of a Naval Sword and a Marine Corps Sword about 8 times the value of an equivalent Naval Sword. Top of the line Naval Swords should fetch about $1500. Any related documents such as an original will or purchase receipt would greatly enhance the value.
