Possible answer
Over 35,000 were manufactured at the Springfield Armory, Springfield, MA, between 1913 and 1918. . . . .
An additional 93,000 sabers were contracted to the firm of Landers, Frary and Clark for production in 1917 and 1918. They have the L F & C marking in place of SA, usually have no serial number, but may bear an inspector number. All are dated 1918 and 1919. springfieldedge

Thanks everyone. With my husband's help and a much better magnifying glass - we determined the sword bears the insignia of WMH - Horstmann Co, Philadelphia. Horstman was from Germany and the Horstman logo also features a Star of David. The silver plating is in need of repair, and it was difficult to read the information. Not sure if I will try to have it re-plated? Here's what I found on Horstmann:
William H. Horstmann & Co. (later Horstmann Brothers and Company) was a manufacturer and retailer of civilian and military equipment, including military uniforms, insignias, and flags. The company was established in 1815 by William H. Horstmann (1785-1850), a native of Cassel, Germany. He learned the trade of silk-weaving in France, and upon emigrating to the United States, established himself in Philadelphia as a manufacturer of fringe, laces, and trimmings of various kinds.
In 1828, the company began the manufacture of military trimmings. The company consisted of two branches: one dealt in civilian clothing and goods, and the other in military uniforms and equipment. The company executive large government contracts for the War and Navy Departments.
After his sons, William H. Horstmann (1819-1872) and Sigmund H. Horstmann (1821-1870) joined the firm, they established another branch of the business in New York, New York in 1831. Factories were built, first at the corner of Germantown road and Columbia avenue, and later on Fifth street and Cherry street, both in Philadelphia.
The firm was known by a variety of names: William H. Horstmann & Sons (1843-1893, Philadelphia), Horstmann Brothers & Company (1850-1852, New York; 1859-1893, Philadelphia), Horstmann Brothers & Allien (1852-1877, New York), Horstmann Sons & Drucker (1845-1849, New York), and the William H. Horstmann Co. (1893-1940, Philadelphia).
