And it's probably this swordfish bill sword. These were all the rage in New England during the heydays of commercial swordfishing and whaling. As Quint from JAWS notably quipped:
"When I was a lad every boy in town wanted to be a harpooner or a swordfisherman"...or something like that.
Anyway, while not a weapon per se, I can attest to the fact that this bone-hard bastard will easily draw blood and raise a handy bruise on one's nose - especially whilst one is trying to hang it on the wall of Flintlock's Arsenal...
