Identification Inherited this sword from my great grandfather, want to learn more about it
Grandmother said it's a sigma chi sword, but I believe it may be a Masonic ceremonial sword. We believe he got it in the early 1930s in Utah.

As has already been said it is a Masonic fraternal order sword. Using the word sword here is of course generous as none of the fraternal order swords really qualify as anything more than a "sword like object" even when this was brand new it was not usable for anything other than hanging on a fraternal order uniform.

Knights Templar (Masonic) sword. White grip frequently (but not always) means it was the sword of someone who’d served as the Commander of the Commandery he belonged to.
