On 28th November 1929 our Fellow Mr. Lawrence E.Tanner exhibited before the Society a sword, now preserved in the museum in the Undercroft of Westminster Abbey, which through his good offices had recently been cleaned and put in order (pls. lvii and lviii, I ). At the same time he offered with all due caution the suggestion that this might be the sword used at the funeral of Henry V which is mentioned in the Sacrist's Account Roll for 1422–3 as having been delivered to the keeper of the vestry together with ‘the whole armour of a man’
