Also there's no way they didn't have cameras and other tech at the time, especially when they quickly move on to make a digital mass comm network. Atlas did. Mantle. The one Kingdom who, in present time, has the mighty robot army and Metal Gears en masse.

Vale, is not Atlas or Mantle. Vale, was not Atlas nor Mantle. Consider Mantle was the only nation with guns. Everyone else had swords and spears and bows.

So, yes, it is quite possible Vale did not have cameras, or at least not good cameras.

1b-And how do you know what every other sword of that age looked like?

1c-Hell you also have the sheath which stands out even more.

2a. Who's to say what the camera tech was back then?

3a. Why would he ask about Summer Rose?

3b-As for Nicholas, fairer point but SDC as important as it is, is likely a more documented and less interesting topic than the Last King of Vale.

3c-Especially with some of the infamy going around it in recent times, Oobleck may very well have been turned off the SDC considering his stance on Faunus racism. 1a- Color scheme means less than nothing, Paint is a thing. "Sword being that specific style", what specific style? It looks like a generic double-edged sword. Not a fancy legendary weapon or anything.

1b-Simple: Logic. Consider the tech level. Consider the weapons used. Most weapons were no different from other weapons of the same kind, and any differences were usually cosmetic.

At most, a specific weapon was made of higher-grade material(s) than most others, which we don't know if it's actually the case here. Given it was only 80 years ago, I assume most, if not all blades, were made of steel.

They did not have neither the resources nor the tech level to play Hunters, with everyone having a fancy vanguardist high-tech unique swiss weapon that was almost one-of-a-kind. Weapons of old were generic. Simplistic. Like Jaune's sword.

Can you tell me, that given their tech level, and everything, most swords did not look at least mostly the same?

1c-Who says the sheath itself is old, or belonged to He-Man? It can well be more modern. Hell, did He-Man show any shields to begin with?

2a-Read what I said to Castle.

3a-I don't know....just because? Given how you put him in such a high pedestal when it comes to his knowledge and desire for info, I would assume you would've said something like "He may have wanted to know if SEWs were real".

3b-And? Shouldn't prevent him from asking an actual Schnee about her "heroic lineage". Biographies can lie, or not tell all the details, after all.

Besides, "Man who created what would become the world's biggest asshole Corp." vs "Man who kicked Mantle's ass, had the world bow to him, and created an age of peace". Which one is more important?

3c-Why? I understand semi-ignoring the actual SDC, but that doesn't mean he would stop being interested in their history, at least the actual Schnee Family's history.
