@ Fimber: even that would be weird. because when it came to magic, uther was extremely paranoid and never spared anyone or thought anyone would be too stupid.

One explanation, I can manage to think of is, Uther was much relieved to kill the wraith and whatever method it was, he did not want to give it much thought anymore. But he never questioned when he did not see Arthur with his new sword ever again.

@ ReganX: I don't think Tom planned to sell that sword anytime soon. He kept it well guarded as his personal possession. Gwen said Tom would kill her if he found out she took it. I think it was more like his display sword.
