<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pattyde, post: 176358, member: 3079&quot;]When I was growing up in the 1950&#039;s and 60&#039;s, The true Ben Franklin descendants lived down the Street from me.&nbsp; All of their 3 children loved to climb up in a storage area above a closet and show off their Great great grandfather&#039;s sword, and yes we were allowed to hold and look. The scabbard was a white enamel type substance(unsure as I was only about 5-8 yrs old when I saw it) and was embellished with gems.&nbsp; The swords metal was a golden color.</p><p>The hilt was a cuff type not a knuckle guard.</p><p>These descendants were still alive when I found them on Facebook a few years ago.&nbsp; My guess is they still are passing it down within their family.</p><p>Perhaps the sword I held in my hands and was amazed at was the Sword that he was knighted with?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
