American Masonic Fraternal Dress Sword

This fraternal sword features a straight, double-edged steel blade with detailed etchings. The hilt consists of a brass crossguard, wire-wrapped leather grip, and a helmet pommel, paired with a plated metal scabbard. Dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, this sword was used by Masonic lodge members during ceremonies in the United States. Fraternal swords were designed to represent chivalric virtues and medieval heritage. The blade is etched with the owner's name and Masonic symbols. The brass guard shows a dark patina, and the scabbard is complete with two suspension rings and a detailed chape.
