This brings to mind The Elder Brewster Chair debacle of many years ago.

 Thanks Rick!
I found a note saying something about Samuel Wagstaff Jr. (1921-1987) selling to J.Paul Getty Museum in 1984,..,..but it was along with the old 1870s photo, so I thought it referred to the photo but not the sword.
I dont know the deal on the Brewster chair.
