Hi There's a discussion going on with another group and a speculation was posted. If this is something you can talk about, and you can enlighten us, please email me at pajh...@earthlink.net
"I have a feeling [the symbol on your Marine sword is] a Freemason's Seal of Solomon. The reason for my suspicion is that the Marine Corps was organized in the Tun Tavern in 1776 (maybe 1775), as war seemed likely. The Tun Tavern also served as a Masonic Temple. (And the first Masonic Lodge meeting in the US was there in 1731.) The inkeeper, Cpt Samiel Nicholas, was made a Captain of Marines in 1775 by George Washington, another Mason."

... is it a Seal of Solomon or a Star of David?
... neither are exclusively Masonic symbols ...

That's part of the question; do they look different? Apparently it also says PROVED.

The "proved" would probably refer to the quality of the steel. -- Regards David fundamentalism (n.): fund = give cash to; amentalism = brainlessness

Yes, that seems to be the answer somebody came up with on the other group -- the six pointed star is the mark of whoever forged the steel.

... ok ... the six-pointed star is usually referred to as a Star of David ... the Seal of Solomon is a five pointed star ... and 'proved' usually does refer to the quality of the forging ... a 'proven' sword is not just a dress item ... it can actually be used ...
