Masonic sword

By BurgDaddy, 8 January, 2024
Description

his sword is very ornamental and definitely not intended for combat. I don't have an exact date but it the manufacturer stamp reads exactly "MC Lilley and Co Columbus Ohio" (see picture) The pommel is a knight's helmet made of what I believe is brass, as well as the crossguard. The handle appears to be made of bone, as I am certain it is NOT plastic, and has very intricate designs on it. Again, please refer to the pictures for a better idea of what it looks like. The blade is dull, but has a beautiful engraving of a knight in a suit of armor, as well as a scene of two knights jousting with buildings and trees in the background. The sheath is solid metal, decorated with these odd coats of arms and red crosses. Absolutely beautiful, except I have no idea about it's history besides what I found online, let alone the value. If someone could provide some insight, I would very much appreciate it! If there is anything else you need such as a description or better pictures, please let me know! Thank you
