Six point star proof slugs on blades
In the interesting British sabre posted by Brian recently, Norman showed some nice illustrations of the six point star used to surround the brass proof plugs placed on blades from the second half 19th century onward.
Was this possibly denoting some Masonic connection? What do you guys think? |
