A historic note on Blackened Swords

Found a facebook post recently which talked about sailors and such blackening their swords so they couldn’t be easily seen aboard ship.

So simple. I’m not sure the idea needs a property or price, however it seems on of those small facts of history which would make for great lore in Warhammer.

The wiki page needs additional citation so this could all be bunk, but I like it.
