    I acquired this old photograph of this stately looking gentleman, but I have no idea what uniform this is.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      He is wearing a Fraternal uniform. Knights of Pythias, etc...

      Most Kof C swords would have the Columbus head, so probably not them.

      I am not sure which specific organization.
