I’ve got mine, pulled it from a boulder in England, seems like everyone had tried to pull it out of the rock forever, they must have loosened it.

Sword Ping!

3,000 years is a really, really old one.

Wish they would have included a photo of the sword. That’s pretty neat.

They can prove its age without a doubt because the blacksmith forged the date 1000 BC on the handle.

A Norwegian man said experts told him the sword he found abandoned at a roadside four years ago dates back 3,000 years.

So THAT'S where I left it. I've been looking all over for that thing.

Just FedEx it to me, Sven. I'll pay the shipping charges.

he turned the sword over to government authorities

My first instinct would have been to list it on eBay.

I guess that sword wasn't made by Hattori Hanzo.
Here is my favorite picture of a sword:

My favorite sword is my MARINE NCO saber! I am now looking for a blacksmith to make me a real one & not just a ceremonial one.
