Walter Tardy's Sword pics
For those of you that have followed the sage of Walter Tardy's sword over the years, I thought I would post a couple of pics I just took to send to Steve.
The blade is by Horstman (Philadelphia) and is etched along with the usual floral pattern..
Left Side: For Personal Excellence and Promotion of Athletic Sports 1897-99
Right Side: Naval Cadet Walter B. Tardy USN by Auxiliary Athletic Association

Deal Struck With Steve
Upon receive of fund, the sword will be going back to the family. Quite a nice piece of family history with good general historical connection to the Boxer Rebellion.
¡Muy Excelente!

This, as well as the other swords, being returned to what seems to be an appreciative family just makes me feel good.
