US 19th Century Masonic Knight Head Sword

This fraternal sword features a straight, double-edged steel blade with decorative etchings, a brass crossguard, and a knight-head pommel. The nickel-plated steel scabbard shows light surface wear. Used during ceremonies by fraternal orders in the United States during the late 19th century, this sword was manufactured in Germany for export to American lodges. It reflects typical period fraternal aesthetics. The blade displays etched symbols of the order and remains bright, with minor spots of gray oxidation. The wooden grip core is wrapped in wire, and the hilt assembly is tight.
