Re: Masonic antiques
Any significant value associated with these will come from being able to tie someone important to them. Unfortunately masonic antiques, while popular, don't command much price wise. I'd estimate about $300-400 for the entire collection with most of that (half or so) being from the 19th century masonic (knights of the templar) sword.
Here is a similar lot with a sash with the motto identical to yours and some other memrobilia. Sold for about $150.

Thanks for sharing, certainly an interesting lot with some mysterious history.
