If you read the article the title quickly becomes click bait nonsense. The lake was dug in the 1800s, the previous owner collected swords & they think it could have been from a Victorian era marching band. Or from WW2 troops that were stationed there.
Or anything but excalibur really!
I read an article about this sword a few days -ago. By The Guardian maybe? Regardless, that one mentioned the sword had been dated to within the last two centuries, and the picture took forever to load, hilt-first, which is where I got the Scimitar idea … but yeah, last I head, Excalibur was not supposed to be a tarnished, single-edged, horrifically-un-balanced and blunt-tipped stage-prop.
