The number 3 being omnipresent in Masonic symbolism, I will not talk about it.
It should be noted that at the level of the pommel the central circle is larger than the 2 lateral ones.
The intersection of the 3 circles is empty, since "the secret of Masonry is that there is no secret" ... The blade is also 3-sided.
We can see the grip as the representation of 2 superimposed columns.
BLADE: it is 3-sided, with a triangular section in a hollow pan.
Length = 25.2 cm, width near the guard = 1.8 cm, thickness near the guard 11 mm
GUARD: it is made of iron, with 2 quillons which have the shape of intersecting circles whose intersection is empty.
POMMEL: it takes the shape of the 3 intersecting circles with the larger middle circle.
GRIP: it is made of wood and represents 2 superimposed twisted columns.
The object is nice, uncleaned, unrestored, the symbolism seems interesting and should not leave the collector who acquires it indifferent.
