J. EDGAR HOOVER PRESENTATION SWORD
From Colonel Frank Hyatt on the occasion of the FBI director receiving an honorary Doctorate of Law degree from the Pennsylvania Military College on June 6, 1936. Very attractive with full nickel plating on the blade, highlighted by gold gilted decorative floral scrolls. One side of blade etched in gold: 'John Edgar Hoover', other side marked 'U.S.' in gold gilting. Scabbard is generally VG; considerable amt of orig nickel and gold gilting remaining; some deterioration from bad storage. Marked on both sides of the scabbard: 'Presented by the Corps of Cadets, Pennsylvania Military College, June 6, 1936'. Accompanying this piece is a leather sheath painted in black and red with the monogram of 'J.E.H.' on the top flap; shows some wear and deterioration but generally in VG cond. Very interesting and definitely an authentic collectible piece of Americana.
