This US Masonic Sword is a late 19th to early 20th-century fraternal ceremonial piece, named to John McLean. The sword features a nickel-plated steel blade with etched Masonic symbols, reflecting traditional iconography associated with Freemasonry. The hilt is composed of a crossguard and knuckle bow adorned with Masonic emblems, and the grip is typically made of white ray skin or molded celluloid with wire wrap. The pommel is decorated, often bearing the all-seeing eye or other Masonic insignia. The sword is presented with its original nickel-plated metal scabbard, complete with decorative mounts and suspension rings. Swords of this type were commonly issued to Freemasons of higher degrees for use in ceremonial occasions rather than for combat. The personalized engraving to John McLean adds historical interest and connects the object to a specific individual within the Masonic order. This artifact represents the intersection of fraternal and military traditions in American history
