Ultranothing asked:
Eigth place belongs to this solid gold (aside from the blade) sword presented to a wounded civil-war soldier by the President of the United States during the time of the Mexican war. One of only five remaining such presentation swords in the world (one was lost in a fire). At that time, this was the highest honor a soldier could receive.

Hey, who doesn’t want a lump of gold?
Though in it’s ornamental state, I’m sure you’d have gotten a little more for it.
