Police want to reunite two antique cavalry swords with their rightful owner.
The swords were found at a property in Brighton on Monday, July 10, and are believed to be stolen. Now Sussex Police are appealing for information.
PCSO Tillie Earley visited an antiques expert in Brighton where the swords were confirmed as collectors' items.
They are 19th-century French heavy cavalry swords with brass hilts and an inscription on the blade.
Inspector James Ward said: “We are sure someone out there is missing these swords from their collection, and we hope to reunite them soon.”
If you are the owner of these swords and want to claim them, you will need to bring proof of ownership to the front counter at the police station in John Street, Brighton, and speak to a member of staff.
You can also report any information to assist the enquiry online or to 101, quoting serial 1172 of 21/07.
