My guess Les its a combination of options A and C, but then thats never really bothered me in the past so who cares
The owners of the garden were more than happy to let us do the photos there

is said to have belong to an officer who was tried for war crimes after the war for his part in the Sandakan death march in New Guinea. the sword does have a silver family crest on it and i have the names of the 2 families it could have belonged to.
