Gold Masonic Sword with Brotherhood Symbols
Symbolism and Artistic Craftsmanship
The hilt of the sword is a true masterpiece, cast from Zamak alloy and richly decorated with silver and 24K gold. On the guard and handle, you will find precisely depicted symbols of the craft: the compass and set square, the plumb line, the hammer, the sacred book, and the eye of the Supreme Being. The pommel features the five-pointed star with the intertwined letter "G", standing for Great and referring to the Great Architect of the Universe. The handle is elegantly finished with velvet-red inserts, giving the sword a regal appearance.

Historical Context and Ritual Significance
Freemasonry follows the traditions of medieval guilds of stone masons and cathedral builders. In their rituals, the sword represents the protection of the sanctuary and the symbolic power of truth over ignorance. It is used for "dubbing" new members or protecting the ritual space. Every element on this sword has a meaning: for example, the hammer symbolizes the power of will, and the plumb line represents moral uprightness. The sword's motto "What you make makes you" perfectly captures the Masonic quest for personal self-construction for the benefit of humanity.
Maintenance and Safety Warnings
This is a purely decorative item. The sword is not intended for practical fencing (HEMA), cutting practice, or stage combat. To maintain its perfect appearance, we recommend:
- Regularly wipe the blade with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
- Do not clean the gold and silver-plated parts of the hilt with aggressive chemicals; a gentle polish with a dry cloth is sufficient.
- Store the sword in a dry environment to prevent oxidation of the decorative elements.
- Never use the sword to strike hard materials; the hilt construction could be irreversibly damaged.
Recommended Accessories
This sword deserves a place of honor on your wall. We recommend complementing it with a universal wall hanger or a luxury wooden stand. If you want to expand your collection with other thematic pieces, check out the Templar swords (e.g., SKU 731), which are closely linked to Masonic history. A Certificate of Quality and Origin from Toledo is included.
