Thanks for the responses Battara and DrDavid. The sword is really beat up, but I've had it a long time. DrDavid thanks for the conformation that it is a Hibernian society sword. I stumbled upon that sight but wasn't sure if I could post it. There seem to be quite a few of these swords out there. I haven't found a conclusive date for how long they were made. This pattern seems to be similar to the Convention swords that Battara mentioned. Does that put an estimated date of 1880-1900 on the sword? It was well made and spring steel.

I always found the history of the AOH and the Molly Maguires fascinating. Down to Alexander Campbell's handprint!
