An antique Masonic Knights Templar sword with a 28.5-inch blade bearing the Pettibone logo at its base. The blade is decorated along three quarters of its length on a gilt ground with knights, crusade scenes, Masonic motifs and a skull-and-crossbones memento mori. The guard is delicately pierced and carries an enameled cross and crown, with some enamel loss, and the pommel takes the form of a dragon-crested helmet. The faux ivory grip shows a monogram inside a wreath and cross motif.

For a New Mexico collector of fraternal regalia this sword has the full set of Templar symbols plus a maker's mark to anchor it. The enamel loss on the guard is the condition note to weigh. It displays well with the decorated blade drawn, and as an antique ceremonial sword it ships to the door with no paperwork.
