Subject: Sword identification help 

We have rusted fragments of what appears to be a sword recovered from an 
area in central Florida not known to have been a battlefield. The 
pieces are highly oxidized and fragmented in a way that it is hard to 
tell the original length, thickness, or material of the weapon. A local 
informant has suggested that it may be related to a Masonic lodge known 
to have existed in the area in the early 1920s. It may also be a Civil 
War sword or not a sword at all. Does anyone know of a reference or 
person who might be able to help in this identification? Pictures are 
available upon request. 



Thank you.
