DESCRIPTION: This is a beautiful example of a dress ceremonial sword of the Freemason sect of “Knights Templar” Atlanta Commandry No. 9.  It was sold by the McLilloy Co. of Columbus, Ohio and belonged to a Brother Ronald A. Limbert .We would venture to say that the sword dates in the 1930’s or earlier. It was an expensive item in its day and the owners of such a prestigious item treasured it most highly. The sword is in beautiful condition with the imitation ivory grip and all the various symbolism of the craft. It has a leather case but the name inside is not Mr. Limberts name and we believe it has a case given to Brother Limbert by another member possibly willed to him as often happened with the membership. This is a prime example of the sword of the 32nd degree of Masonry. The Knights Templar trace their origin back to shortly after the first Crusade. They were called the poor Knights of the Temple of King Solomon. Their sacred mission was to protect pilgrims on their journey to visit the Hoy Places. Today the Masonic order of Templar seek to honor these Knights of yore.
