600-Year-Old Medieval Broadsword Found After 72 Years

It’s hard to imagine how many weapons have passed through Howard Dixon’s hands. An arms and armor specialist with Christie’s Auction house for over 20 years, Dixon has seen it all. But one piece – a 600-year-old Italian broadsword – has long evaded his gaze. The Harriet Dean sword is one of the last remaining swords from the arsenal at Alexandria, and in 1943, it disappeared without a trace. Lost to legend, the medieval blade has been hunted by academics and enthusiasts for the better part of a century. Until now.....
