The only mark on the sword is M.W.F.A. and Capt. G. MURRAY MORRIS on the scabbord. Im just trying to find out more information about it. I can't even figure out what M.W.F.A stands for. Thank you for any help you can give.

    Fraternal organization rather than military.

    I found a George Murray Morris living in Decatur County Illinois in 1910. He died there too. He was a farmer most of his adult life except for a stint as a rural mail carrier. Very large family.
