Hi Gary
Pulleine body was found by the British, right ?
So his sword can be recovered by the British ...
Or his sword can be recovered by the Zulus ...

Yes, he's taking it when he got out of his tent to see who was making noise outside ...

If it is left to face the Zulu, he inevitably took his sword....

There's a photo of Pulleine in Jackson's book, he's stood with his wife and he's wearing a sword.
