Not exactly an edged weapon but related.
Just found.
I believe its a "Sweet Heart" pillow of some sort. Pure guess. Probably British from 1890 (on pillow). Says "TRIA JUNCTA IN UNO", around the crown and "Forget Me Not". Crossed sword and rifles. Flaming bomb. Other motifs?? Two little coins? With Arabic writing? Maybe Afgan war. Heavy as a brick. Something in there? I have no experience with these. Is this given to the soldier by his sweetheart or the other way around? Hoping folks on here can help out. I think its pretty cool and would look good in a sword display. Any ideas.
