The KKK of the 1920s differed significantly from the Reconstruction Era KKK in its broader focus and membership. While the original KKK primarily targeted Black Americans and sought to maintain white supremacy in the South, the 1920s KKK expanded its agenda to include a wide range of anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic, and anti-Semitic sentiments, reflecting a reaction to the changing social dynamics of the time. This version of the KKK also saw a massive increase in membership and visibility, promoting itself as a national organization with a more mainstream appeal, utilizing parades and public rallies to recruit members. Additionally, the 1920s KKK leveraged modern media and a more organized structure to spread its message beyond the South.

The KKK of the 1920s differed from the Reconstruction Era klan primarily in its broader focus and national reach. While the earlier klan primarily targeted African Americans and sought to restore white supremacy in the South post-Civil War, the 1920s Klan expanded its agenda to include anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic, and anti-Semitic sentiments, positioning itself as a defender of traditional American values. Additionally, the 1920s Klan capitalized on modern media and organized mass rallies, gaining significant political influence and membership across the United States, unlike its more localized predecessor.

Some would see this type of item as a historical relic and could price them as high as $2000 in excellent condition from reconstruction time to the early 1900's. Most will sell for as little as $200 however due to the lack of collectability interest because of its representation. I have found 1920's era swords in fair condition usually in the range of $200 to $350. Paying anything more than that is a risk in terms of investment, but could be priceless in terms of historical value.
The KKK is a secret organization. However, there were KKK groups in Pennsylvania is the 1920, largely because of its staunch support of National Prohibition.
