<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 86922, member: 44&quot;]&gt; &quot;in 1920, it was decreed that the Columbus pattern pommel face straight ahead when the sword was sheathed.&quot; &lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>Another &quot;that&#039;s confusing&quot; from my little corner of the world! Spring, a probably ignorant question, is there a difference when one says the pommel (Columbus head) is &quot;facing forward when you look at the front of the sword&quot; and when it says Columbus pommel face straight ahead when the sword was sheathed?&quot; In other words is there a difference between facing forward from the front of the sword and facing straight ahead when sheathed? Does the book have a pic of the 4th degree K of C sword that they say is 1920? Does the book give a date for the Columbus pommel turnrd sideways? That page I linked to dates the sideways head back to the early 1930s. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nowwww, I haven&#039;t a clue to the knowledgeable, reliability, of that website. Personally I have no experience or family related experience, with the K of C. Now as to Masonic (York Rites, Knights Templar, Scottish Rights, Shriners and everything from Rainbow Girls to whatever) I have had much personal and family related experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
