Antiques Roadshow Tonight

Recommended Posts

An elderly gentleman brought in a sword he bought as a 12 year old, 70 years ago at Ranworth in a

jJunk shop for 7/6d. He said it was in an umbrella stand , black all over and he bought it to show off with it at school; which he was not in fact allowed to do.   On cleaning it he revealed inlaid metal hunting scenes which he thought was brass. It turned out to be an inlaid gold sword worth thousands.
