Masonic Sword (Item USARTICLES 2-3 & MASON 1-2) |
||
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. PRICE: SOLD |

Cult Dagger of the Grand Lodge of Illuminati (Item MASON 1-4; ANTWEP 4-22; Special Items) |
|
DESCRIPTION: This term “Illuminati” refers to a group that broke with the Masonic Order in May 1776, and was mastered by its founder, Adam Weishaupt, who was an 18th-century far-leftist Bavarian, and member of several odd, secular societies. It has been said by some that the Illuminati was an Enlightenment-Age Society made up of those who advocated so-called free thought and secularism, extreme liberalism, socialism, and gender equality, and they were recruited from the Masonic Lodges and professed to teach far-left rationalism through “Mystery Schools.” It was also said to be a hotbed of conspiratorial plots to overthrow the Bavarian Monarchy and its Roman Catholic religion. There was a well-founded theory that this secret order was very much responsible for and supplied the masterminds behind the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror (June 1793-1794). The Illuminati was accused of being a dangerous group of subversives who were attempting to secretly orchestrate a revolutionary wave in Europe and the rest of the world in order to spread the most radical ideas and the movement known as the “Enlightenment,” and it was said that some of its innermost meetings were seen by some to be with the trappings of Satanism. This has been the theory of nationalist movements and leaders worldwide. In National Socialist Germany under Adolf Hitler, persons thought to be members of the generally subversive group were arrested and sent to concentration camps posthaste! Even today, we see evidence of the nefarious movings of this cult, except the new terminology is “The New World Order.” The Dagger For such an “instrument of evil,” this weapon is certainly beautiful! Its pommel is the leering skull in silver while the grips are of mother of pearl and are intact and gorgeous. They are held in place with silver side panels with hand-engraved floral-decorated work. The crossguard is shaped as crossbones giving it a very eerie effect. The most incredible part of this fantastic weapon is the very lethal blade. Yes, lethal, in fact, deadly. It is a wavy blade that ripples about 12½ inches, and half of it from the crossguard down is richly imbued with gorgeous embellishment on a field of fine, rich, gold background. Some of the illustrations start on the front side with a skull and crossbones, and halfway up from that is a figure that looks like the stylized square and compass as used on Illuminati art of the 18th century. In addition, here we find beautiful floral designs peculiar to the era. On the reverse side just past the crossguard of the blade there is the star of the morning of the type used in occult ceremonies worldwide. Above this is the figure that resembles a scorpion and above this a half moon with six stars, and above this, the compass appears again. It is noted that in practicing Master Mason degrees, swords were often used, but not a dagger because it was looked on as an assassin’s weapon. It has often been said that the Illuminati used daggers in its secret meetings and ceremonies. The pictures you see here unfortunately do this “special dagger” no favors—its macabre beauty can only be fully appreciated when viewing it in hand. This is an exceptional piece of exotic weaponry: possibly unique! PRICE: SOLD |
