Early Pattern Knights of Columbus Sword and Scabbard Album Album Album The Knights of Columbus are a Catholic organization which is still in existence. They use swords in their regalia, and several patterns have been noted. The earliest pattern is a cruciform style sword with a standing eagle pommel which is what I believe that this sword is. The second and third patterns have the bust of Columbus as the pommel. In the second pattern Columbus faces forward when the sword is worn, and in the third pattern Columbus faces outward when the sword is worn. Hilts are all black. Special white hilts were authorized for KoC past officers. This particular handle is golden colored wire wrapped around brown leather. The overall length from the top of the Eagles head to the bottom of the scabbard is approximately 36 1/4 inches. The blade is approximately 27 1/2 inches from the hilt to the tip. The blade has loss much of its platting along the blade. The blade is not etched or engraved. The scabbard is bent and needs to be straightened.
