AMERICAN SECRET SOCIETY SWORD LATE 19TH-EARLY 20TH CENTURY

$425.00

The Odd Fellows, founded in England in the 18th century, was a secret society which promoted brotherhood and good will among its members. It is thought that the name referenced skilled workers in fields outside the organized guilds and thus outsiders to the main workers community. This sword is a good example, beautifully finished and overlaid in gold, much of which remains. The chain knuckle bow is lacking. The 27 1/2” blade, in original preservative, is decorated with gilt foliate panels Kiarsarge Encampment. The scabbard is hand engraved with gilt mounts matching the hilt.
