Antique Knights of Pythias UR Ceremonial Sword Scabbard Named J Colomer FCB 37\" For Sale

Knights of Pythias Uniformed Rank ceremonial sword dates back to around the turn of the 20th century, serving as a display piece for the fraternity's military-style drill corps. Complete with its original brass-mounted scabbard, the blade features a personalized "J. Colomer" etching alongside the classic "U.R." monogram and lily emblem on the clamshell guard. As expected for a piece of this age, there is some general wear throughout the sword and case, so please see all pictures closely for exact condition. The blade shows just the slightest deformation at the very tip, and it sometimes takes a bit of convincing to slide fully back into the sheath. Additionally, there is a minor amount of play between the hilt and blade, and the decorative wire wrapping around the handle is slightly loose in spots (also visible in the photos). Despite these age-related quirks, it remains a fantastic, complete piece of fraternal militaria history with plenty of character.
