Any way to get my sword back?

Question

I think my sword has been yoinked by a glitch. I went to learn some skills (Master Strikes, etc.) from Captain Bernard with practice swords, and my real sword, Soul Slicer, wasn't in my inventory afterward. I'm 90% sure I didn't accidentally sell it, and it wasn't in any of my traders' inventories regardless. Is there any way to find it again if it's still in the world or get it back with console commands?

EDIT: SOLVED. Found a guide on the Nexus to enable the disabled commands. Simply add -devmode as a launch option on a shortcut to the game.

You weren't maybe stopped by a guard afterwards?

Well, I got it from a dead bandit at the mill southeast of Merhojed, and it was a stolen object to start, so I stored it on my horse for a while. Then the stolen flag disappeared for no apparent reason after I traveled to Rattay, so I equipped it and kept it while I sold all my other loot. I wasn't stopped by any guards. Is it normal for a stolen flag to just go away like that?

Thought it might be Morcock's blade :) it makes a nice souvenir.

It's normal for a tag to vanish after a while, how long depends on the items value and the distance from the point he item was stolen.

The reason I was asking is that there's sometimes a glitch where after training with Bernard, weapons in your inventory can pick up a stolen tag. Was just eliminating the possibility that that happened and a guard swiped your blade.

Heheheh.

Ooh, good to know. But unless Bernard himself swiped it when my back was turned, I don't think that's what happened.

A quick Google shows reports going back to Feb/March from people who have had weapons vanish after training with Bernard...so it looks like a definite bug.

Did you train with just wooden or with real weapons as well?
