UAOW Ceremonial Sword with Scabbard

Item Details

An AOUW ceremonial sword with scabbard. The initials AOUW stand for ‘Ancient Order of United Workmen.’ This fraternal organization, much like the Masons, was founded after the Civil War. The sword and scabbard probably date to the last quarter of the 19th century. It has ‘Select Knight’ printed on the sword with a skeletal hand on the scabbard. It has a dimensional design standing knights and anchors to the crossguard, while a design of a knight’s helm rests on the pommel.
