THIS ANTIQUE SWORD IS VERY SIMILAR TO A MASONIC KNIGHTS TEMPLAR FRATERNAL SWORD. IT IS THE PATRIARCHS MILITANT (UNIFORMED IOOF) FROM THE LATE 1800'S AND IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF A FATERNAL CEREMONIAL SWORD. THE KNIGHT'S NAME IS ENGRAVED ON THE BLADE AND THE OVERALL CONDITION IS GOOD...... HANDLE IS SOLID AND FEELS NATURAL TO THE HAND. BRIGHT, SHINY AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. THE SWORD WAS PRODUCED BY THE WELL KNOWN SWORD COMPANY M.C. LILLEY OF COLUMBUS OHIO AND THE SWORD DRAWS AND RE-INSERTS NICELY. THE MOST DISTINCTIVE FEATURES ON THIS SWORD ARE THE GLOBE SHAPED POMMEL WITH BUTTON CAP AND THE VERY PROMINENT REVERSED QUILLONS OF THE CROSS-GUARD. THE CROSS-GUARD HAS A PANEL IN THE CENTER THAT DISPLAYS A CROWN THROUGH WHICH ARE PLACED A SHEPHERD'S CROOK AND A SWORD. I'VE SOLD A LOT OF SWORDS AND THIS STYLE IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE...... THE LENGTH OF THE SWORD ALONE IS 34 3/4 INCHES AND THE SCABBARD ADDS ANOTHER 7/8 OF AN INCH. AS WITH ALL VINTAGE ITEMS T IS NATURALLY A BIT OF NORMAL WEAR. THE SCABBARD HAS BEEN RESTRAIGHTENED BUT STILL WOULD DISPLAY VERY WELL AND LOOKS NICE FROM THE FRONT. I'M SURE YOU'LL LOVE IT...... WOULD LOOK NICE DISPLAYED OR COULD BE USED TO DEFEND YOUR CASTLE FROM THE IN-LAWS. SOLD AS IS. ENJOY THE AUCTION AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR BID......... SHIPPING IS $19.95. I DO NOT MAKE SECOND CHANCE OFFERS SO ANYONE RECEIVING
