        He picked up the second item, which reminded him of a curved sword, like the cutlasses that pirates always used in the movies.  It was surprisingly light; he had expected that a sword blade would be heavier.  The blade was about two feet long, with a dulled edge on one side—it looked like the same hammer wielding creature had been at this blade, too—while the back side had a series of holes about an inch back from the edge with rivets pounded into them.  The rivets were crude, and appeared to have been added later.  He was no expert in swords, but he couldn’t see how this weapon was meant to be used—if it was a weapon—as there was no way to hold it.  Perhaps the closed holes were meant to mount it to a shaft, to make it into a polearm.  He turned it over in his hands, noting that the back edge had a concave cut to it, which seemed to further suggest that it was meant to be attached to something.
