QT with a sword.

The armoury wall at Wolf's Head Hall (my house). At the top is a banner, left to right, the three wolves heads of the Knipes white on red. In the middle is Jim'll Paint it's Saturday Night kicking out time done in the style of the bayeaux tapestry. On the right is the red lion of the Terry's (my late husband) Beneath the terry banner are his and hers fencing foils for settling arguments Addams family style. A poster advertising enlistment in the royal navy. Below that are two antique police truncheons, a short sword with attached flintlock pistol and another flintlock pistol (non-firing). There's a viking axe and a long sword (replicas in wood). and Finally there is the real French Cavalry sabre taken off the battlefield at Waterloo and renumbered into the british army.
