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 also elegantly finished with blue velvet inserts, highlighting the ceremonial character of the weapon.

History and Masonic Legend
Freemasonry is surrounded by many myths. According to the so-called Temple Legend, it is derived from Hiram Abiff, the builder of Solomon's Temple, while other hypotheses link it to the legacy of the Knights Templar. In the Czech lands, Freemasonry has a deep history – the first lodge "At the Three Stars" was founded in Prague in 1726. Famous Czech Freemasons included figures such as Alfons Mucha or Jan Masaryk. The sword's motto "What you make makes you" perfectly captures the Masonic quest for moral self-improvement.
Maintenance and Safety Warnings
This is a purely decorative item. The sword is not intended for practical fencing, cutting practice, or any form of contact combat, as this could damage its rich ornamentation. To maintain its beauty, we recommend:
- Regularly wipe the blade with a dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
- Do not clean the decorated hilt with aggressive chemicals; a gentle polish with a dry cloth is sufficient.
- Store the sword in a dry environment and never use it to strike hard materials.
Recommended Accessories
To truly showcase this ceremonial sword, we recommend placing it on a decorative wall hanger or in a wooden stand. It pairs perfectly with Templar swords (e.g., SKU 731) or other historical replicas by Marto. A Certificate of Quality and Origin from Toledo is included.
