How come the Lord Lieutenant who was at the trafalgar day parade had a sword that looked as if the end had been chopped off? It was completely flat. Google didn't turn anything useful up

But why have the end like that? why not a normal sword that's blunt, that's what the officers at cadets have, but you could still do damage with them.

could have been a naval cutlass which has an end that is angled at about 45 degrees look it up on google. It still has a lethal point though.

he wasn't anything to do with the naval, I don't think. He had a lord lieutenants uniform on with the red stripes and glittery belt, spurs and this odd sword

Why was his sword out of its scabbard that people could see it?

I dunno, that's a good question. To start with I thought that was the shape of the scabbard but when he came round and inspected us, I could see that it was definatly his sword.

Molly, you are losing your touch. I've noticed your posts of late are lacking, they are not getting the usual 100 plus replies. What's going on...
