A Polish angler has pulled a medieval sword from the Vistula. As the law requires, he handed the find over to the capital's Office for the Protection of Monuments. According to preliminary estimates, the sword dates from the 13th to 14th centuries, the time of the founding of Warsaw. It faces six weeks of cleaning in a special solution and restoration, after which the artefact will be treated with a protective coating and passed to archaeologists for study
