Antique Masonic Knights Templar Ceremonial Sword made and marked M.C. Lilley & Co. in Columbus Ohio.
A wealth of detailed etchings on both sides of the blade with Crusades scenes and motifs! Very fancy metal scabbard as well. The sword measures just over 33" long with the blade measuring 26" long.
Gilt hilt with dragon on helmet pommel and synthetic ivory grip with monogram and cross.
The M.C. Lilley Company was established in 1895 and this sword dates to in the 1930's we believe. Possibly earlier.
Very nice piece here!
