Description

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY EBAY STORE!  I COMBINE AUCTIONS TO SAVE ON SHIPPING COSTS!  Thank you and enjoy browsing my store!
Here is a very nice, very rare, 1908 King David Encampment IOOF sword that is named to E. F. Blodgett.   This name is pretty familiar in the IOOF circle.  I think he was a pretty high up member.   The sword is in good shape and will look even better with a good cleaning/polish.  The blade is 28" long with the overall length of the sword at approx. 35".   Please see pics for more details.
IF YOU DON'T SEE IT IN THE PICS, THEN IT IS NOT INCLUDED!!
Please see pics and message me with any questions.
