Many of thes swords have been in use in Bavaria during the end of the 18th until the middle of the 19th century. But noone today knows exactly for what or for whom they have been made.

Isn't this some kind of Masonic sword?!
I cannot give you any logical explanation but as soon as I saw the photo, I got this gut feeling that it is a masonic sword.

I purchased from an auction Schnecksvill, PA. The auction had a lot of antique international swords and daggers. He knew everything about all the diffrent blades but this one. The sword is 38" total, blade is 32" and the crossgaurd 7" wide.
