I was just reading about Masamune swords on wikipedia, and read this little bit:
A Masamune was given to President Harry S Truman shortly after World War II. It is currently housed in the Harry S Truman Presidential Library and Museum.
Does anyone know if this is true? What are the chances that this is the sword from Black Wind, the one that may or may not have been made from one of Glaeken's swords? If anything was gonna survive a nuclear bomb, I'd put money on it being that little antenna . . . .

I accidentally dropped a load of worthless change in the street. I was going to just leave it there but a burly policeman lumbered towards me and said, "You'd better pick that up, son."

Patience, my friend. We will know it after we read BY THE SWORD.

Yes! Say, didn't Napoleon Bonaparte have a sword...I just made that up.

Actually the Little Corporal did have one that was lost in Russia-found by cossacks that made its way to the Land Of Chin. After the Sinno/Russia war of 1903 it ended up in Japan where it hung in a decrepit geisha house where later it was melted down into little knives for sushi.
