State Sword for the Emperor of Hayti, 1850. Creator: Unknown

State Sword for the Emperor of Hayti, 1850. This magnificent sword has been manufactured by Mr. Robert Mole, of Birmingham, for the Emperor, being intended as a Presentation Sword from the Grand Masonic Lodge of Hayti. The blade, which is of the finest steel, is richly ornamented...bearing the inscription in French on one side: "To the illustrious F. Faustin Soulouque, Emperor of Hayti;" and on the other, "Homage of the Grand Order of Hayti." The hilt is of the most ornate and exquisite workmanship, and is surmounted by the Imperial crown, and adorned with various Masonic emblems. On the shield are richly chased the arms of Hayti, with the motto: "God, my country, and my sword. Liberty, Independence". The scabbard is...elaborately embroidered in gold in open-work...altogether it is one of the most superb state swords ever manufactured in England'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
