Less than 2’ LOA? More like a dagger than anything else... My kukri (Panawal, Kukri House, Napal) is about that size... but with a much thicker blade on it.

I never realized that the United States Military Academy existed during the medieval period. Admittedly, the large “USMA” letters near the business end of the blade are in a German Gothic script.

Lots of wild stuff in Loudon Co, VA.

Perhaps one of the more crazed anti-perversity people who’s driven nuts by all the nuts on the school board. Or perhaps one of those mad that her kids can’t use any bathroom they want.

Right. It’s a sword.

Now THAT is a blade.

The “alleged” applies to the dating….

Writing is so poor anyway, it could be so.

I’ve got a two foot long Confederate style D-Guard Bowie knife hand forged for me by a blacksmith/bladesmith in Crossville, TN. It’s darn near a sword. I guess she was having a bad day.

All assault weapons don’t look alike but only a few are outlawed because they go bang.

I don’t know much of anything about swords, but not quite from what I see. They seem to have wide blood grooves and curves a bit from the narrow hilt area, like Roman short swords. This one is straight-edged with no real curvature.

But indeed (also unlike the samples online), this one boldly states USMA.

Doesn’t sound too medieval, but probably genuine. Pretty cool.

Yeah, it looks historically genuine. Hope they don’t destroy it.

The one the woman attacked the cops with has ‘USMA’ on it.

I assumed it stood for US Military Academy............

Loudon County used to be a nice quiet place for people
and horses. Today it is a leftist craphole.

I dont remember WW ever having a sword...

But there are females in the Highlander series...

She had one in the movie. It was called "The God Killer".

Spoiler alert: In the movie, it turns out that "The God Killer" wasn't the sword. It was Diana.

They poison EVERYthing.

They always want to move to nice places where conservatives dominated. They think they’re nice places….and then want to turn them into hippie “nice” places. They continue to vote the way that turns everything to garbage.

Happening to my mother’s hometown hamlet now, which is a mainstay in our lives. Hippies taking over, and now you see gay flags and BLM virtue-signaling signs and gigantic “hippie” and “peace sign” logos that are PART of the Main Street BUSINESSES! Not just houses, the business!
