Rod Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Hi Thomas,A "sword" to me has a military connotation. It just seems strange to me that miners would be carrying their own swords.Maybe I am way off base Rod Edited September 10, 2008 by Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derfflinger Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hello Rod,in good old Prussia* (for example) each man in uniform carried a sword. A post office official, a railway official, firemen, policemen, Garrison physicians, Military musician...In these cases there is not weapons, but badges for the rank of the carrier.Therefore the wrong impression, Prussia developed would be extremely military.Thomas* ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
