Thanks Keith,
seems like the daggers usually had crossed bones guards. This skull and crossbones theme is pretty well known in Masonic regalia and has to do with the omenous 'memento mori'.

this sword is a great example of this kind of Masonic symbolism, and was mounted on a Napoleonic cavalry blade, wish I would have got it! Pretty spooky
