<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 174569, member: 54&quot;]I&#039;ve been getting info on the Franklin sword at the Franklin Institute.&nbsp; A list of many previous owners and dates is engraved on the metal parts of the sheath, beginning with &quot;B. Franklin 1755&quot; then other family members to whom it was passed.&nbsp; I&#039;m convinced this sword did belong to B.F.&nbsp; Here&#039;s one of the photos the Inst. sent.&nbsp; I&#039;ve asked for some short macro-photos.&nbsp; Their sword has never been researched by any sword experts.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure we&#039;ll at least be able to ID the maker of the blade once we get a clearer photo of this area:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://springfieldarsenal.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/image9.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
