Ceremonial Swords

Since the 16th century the cruciform sword has been used for ceremonial purposes more than as a weapon. These ceremonial swords are used to show the status and rank of an individual as well as their traditional uses. It symbolized the authority of the person carrying the sword. They became lighter, more ornate and more expensive. The more elaborate and expensive the sword the higher the rank.

We carry ceremonial swords for Masons and other organizations. Today many military organizations use swords for ceremonial purposes and as rewards and gifts for a job well done. They are great for display or costume uses also.
