When I was about eight years old I found a sword under a hedge in the garden of one of my mother's friends who said I could keep it. I took it to an antiques shop specialising in historic weaponry. The sword was a cutlass of the type used by the sailers of the Royal Navy in the Napoleonic Wars and by the militia, its proprietor said, who attacked demonstrators at the Peterloo Massacre. How did it get under the hedge? Who owned it? To what bloody purpose was it put? How did it stay in such good condition? Many mysteries...
