Executioner Sword

The Seal of Thorn ( Poland / Germany / Prussia ) also shows Holy Mother Mary.For me the sword refers to this city.The tip of executioner swords mostly is cut off. This should clarify,that it was a dishonorable weapon.Dishonorable,because the profession of a executer was looked upon as not honest.In some cases you can find three holes to the end of the blade representing father, son and the holy ghost.( picture from google)
