Yes. When you hear "lake", and "sword" in the same sentence you can't not think about "the lady of the lake" in King Arthur.

Would have been a bonus if the blade was enchanted.

The sword is from roughly 500 AD they say. So it actually is from pretty close to Arthurian times (circa 650 AD).

Looks a tad rusty. It should be taken to the Pawn Stars shop so one of their restoration people buff it up nice and shiny.

and you just know they would naturally try to take advantage if the people were looking to sell.. let me get "my guy"

"wellllll, ya know...the market right now for ancient swords is just not there...Annnd I'm gonna be taking a considerable risk keeping this in the shop. But at the same time... I reeeally want this thing!"

also reminded me of this classic scene of the Atlantean Sword from Conan the Barbarian:

Somebody said that he was actually breaking off the fossilized leather sheath, rather than rust.

That would make sense. :chin:

That was so old and it looks like an awesome sword.

I would imagine that this was an Iron Age weapon sacrifice after a battle.

Considering my Norsk name is on Ellis island I fully support this, who better to supersede the extremists lately?
