Knights of columbus sword 1st Edition Flying Eagle perfect shape first ed. 1900 - $225 - (Geneva, IL)
Genuine, first edition KoC Flying Eagle / Eagle Head sword. Verified by the local KoC segment to be both genuine first edition which in turn means it's very nearly if not over a hundred years old. Very rare sword that I'm depressed about having to sell but hard times have fallen on me. This is a sword that's been in my family for a while. It was stored in its scabbard for the majority of its life, however unfortunately the scabbard got lost in one of our moves, and as such will not be included in the sale. As you can see the sword is in great shape, no rust, and less tarnishing than many other KoC swords but it's never been cleaned. Item is sold AS-IS, NO RETURNS. Regarding shipping: I will overly-protect it, and have it marked fragile. I will also pay extra for package insurance. Pictures were taken the day of the posting being made. ------------------ Sword Notes: This is the earliest type of sword carried, this is the so called “eagle head” sword. This particular example is in very good condition considering the age. Sword Specs: Blade Length: 28.125 Inches Blade Details Front: None Blade Details Rear: None Scabbard Length: 30 Inches Total Length in Scabbard: 36.5 Inches Maker Mark: None MANUFACTURER/ YEARS IN SERVICE: Unknown, most probably: T.C. Gleason Mfg. Co. Chicago. 1900-19?? (SELLERS NOTE: when I showed this to my local KoC branch, they said as best as they could tell it was made pre-1930s)
