Sword ID

[FunWithTreasure]

Went out for a bit tonight. I though I found a bottle dump to dig but it turned out to be bottles and just about everything else you could amagine on the surface covered by leaves. I did find some older bottles but the cool thing I found was this sword. The case is pretty rusty and the leather is all rotten and missing some. The blade looks good though I think it is Stainless? Anyway I dont know if it is anything old or what or if it was just someones display and they tossed it. Still pretty cool.. It says Chas A Dixon on the blade and it also says at the base The M.C. Lilly & CO 13W 30th Street New York and on other side it says Germany anyone know anything about it. Its complete except for one loop on the case..

It's from the Knights of Pythias. The FCB stands for Friendship, Benevolence, and Charity. The maker used that mark from 1882 to 1925.
