The brief
The customer supplied the existing sabres for lettering. The photos document the surface before and after engraving.
Our approach
The finished photo shows ‘POTOM KADER’ on the blade, followed by the wording ‘The best form of welfare for the troops is first-rate training’.
The result
SDLG engraved fifteen sabres. The comparison shows how the dark lettering contrasts with the pale metal.
Project photos
Engraved sabres in this project
The earlier photo shows the metal blade before lettering was added. In the finished photo, the larger letters and the smaller English text form a single inscription.
