Landlord "McSchuly" outraged
Scottish sword stolen from a bar in Graz
A curious theft in the city center of Graz: a one and a half meter long Scottish bi-handed sword has disappeared from the wall of the Steirer Pub in Abraham-a-Santa-Clara-Gasse. The owner is now looking for it and is offering a reward.
It is a so-called claymore, a traditional sword that was in use in Scotland until the 17th century. The blade is 1.4 meters long and the weapon, which is wielded with two hands, was hanging well secured above the bar of the Steirer Pub in the centre of Graz - until Friday evening, when it suddenly disappeared. "Meanwhile, it was business as usual. There was a light failure and even the camera was switched off," says owner Helmut Schulhofer. Apart from the sword, nothing was stolen.
The landlord can't explain the incident. "The thieves must have had a screwdriver because the sword was fastened. And you have to make a 1.4-metre-long sword disappear once!"
Sword as a symbol
The Scotland enthusiast is more interested in the symbolism and history of the sword than the material value, which is likely to be around 1,200 euros. "I've always wanted a sword like this. Bringing it here from Scotland wasn't easy." He also associates many good memories with the sword.
Reward with whiskey
Schulhofer has launched an appeal on Facebook to find the blade. He hopes that the perpetrator will return the sword. Anyone with clues or who knows where the sword is located will receive a reward - "a whiskey tasting".
