Ancient sword found during construction of water pipe in Hrodna (photo)

The weapon found in Matrosau Street most likely belonged to Swedes, notes “Hrodna Pradva”. The 2 meter-deep buried unusual grey metallic object was noticed by an excavator operator. The one meter long sword with a dent was ideally preserved. The dent allowed snatching out enemies’ spears. 

One more sword was found in Hrodna during the reconstruction of Soviet Square earlier.
