Big Size Commemorative Ku Klux Klan Bowie

WARNING: The sale of this knife does not in any way imply any adherence to the ideology it symbolizes, which is supremacist and racist.
This knife is a large Bowie, whose shape is characteristic of the historical commemorative bowies of the Ku Klux Klan.
BLADE: It is a "bowie" type blade, with a thick back, with a single edge that begins after a 4 cm ricasso. A counter-edge on the last 6 cm of the blade joins the edge to form the point.
On one side we find engraved "Imperial Invisble Order of KU KLUX KLAN" followed by the words "Everyday anywhere will be Klan day".
This inscription deserves to be explained: the name Invisible Empire appears from the years 1922 which marked the peak of the Klan, which would have counted at that time between 3 and 5 million members. The commemorative bowies are usually linked to an event, like the convention of 1905 or the Klan's Day of September 1923 in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The usual inscriptions are therefore for example of the type "Klan day September xx, 1924"
Here the owner of this weapon has placed himself resolutely in the future by specifying as a kind of warning that any day, anywhere would be a "Klan day" We can therefore suppose that it is a fabrication of the period of decline of the organization. So probably after the Second World War: direction of Samuel Green or Robert Shelton.
On the other side, we find the Klan cross, tilted at 45 degrees, with the central drop of blood, and two inscriptions "AKIA" for "A Klansman I Am" and "SANBOG" for "Strangers Are Near, Be on Guard"
Blade length = 26.5 cm, thickness near the guard 5.5 mm
GUARD: is made of brass, with 2 quillons curved towards the blade
HANDLE: it is made of 2 hardwood plates riveted to the tang. On one side, there are notches for the fingers. This particularity is also found on the organization's commemorative knives dated 1905
