Very nice, old, Masonic Knights Templar sword!

[Nick]

Any idea on age ?

Hello Nick,

I'm not sure but I've seen some that look similiar to this that were from the 1920s.

thanks,

I have a very similar sword that I posted here sometime back. I was able to

trace it back to 1887. I have 3 swords all of which have the sword companys

name on the blade directly below the hilt. I think I just did a GOOGLE search

on the sword maker and came upon a web site that lists many of the different

makers and how to identify the different swords.

I hope this helps.

BTW- That is a great looking sword

Never mind the sword, tell us about Granny's gun cabinet!

Here's a nice one, if I did'nt have such grief bringing in edged weapons thru customs I would have gone for it.
