  Well that isn't the 1660 sword seen here - www.royalcollection.org.uk/collection/31728/the-irish-swo...

  Hard to tell with it still in the scabbard, but that looks like a wallhanger. beachcomber australia's one looks more like a genuine sword you could poke someone with.

• derangedlemur said:

  Allegedly given by Henry IV to the City of Dublin in 1403 to use as their state sword... I suspect further research is necessary.

• derangedlemur said:

  Seems legit: www.swordsdublin.net/mansion_house.html Apparently it's a genuine 15th century longsword, and the furniture is original, despite its impractical appearance.
