This gilded short sword is a beautifully decorated sword in the style of ceremonial masonic blades. The sword is cast in a brilliantly ornate, golden metal, with a red or blue velvet grip. The sword is a handy 20 inches in overall length, which is a perfect middle-ground between an arming sword and a dagger. Not too heavy, not too long, but big enough to dazzle. The unsharpened stainless steel blade is broad and flat, perfect for custom engraving. The Gilded Short Sword comes with a similarly gilded sheath, and both are decorated with Masonic symbols of God, Geometry, the Christian cross. Personalize this sword with a custom engraving. We offer two engraving options. Select engraving option one and we will engrave up to two lines of custom text down the length of the blade. Engraving option two includes an engraved Celtic pattern with a framed center area and your custom text engraved in the that area. The engraving makes the dagger an impressive show piece for yourself or a wonderful gift for any occasion.
