Muahahahaaa. I just saw that you've joined us in our insanity. Welcome aboard. :)
Okay, first things first. Don't get a back scabbard, you'll have to draw the damned thing two or three times to get it out in a hurry, and that just doesn't work that well in case of ambush. There's no guards on the sword, though, so a plain metal ring style back scabbard won't work either. You need a scabbard for your belt that'll keep it more horizontal, or to just suck it up and carry the damned thing. Not such an issue if all you're doing is adventures, but if you're going to be doing 'fest' type things, you'll want a scabbard of some sort.
Next. Treasure Trap. The first LARP system *ever*, first run back in 1982. That might explain a few things. :) I didn't know Cambridge had a Treasure Trap, but I'll put money on knowing some of the people involved. The system's probably been a bit modified from the stories I've heard from friends who went to Peckforton Castle all those years ago, but I know enough about it to have a clue about what you're on about. :)
Legality of carrying it. Keep it covered and you'll generally be fine.
Finally. Fests. Are you headed to the Gathering or to Renewal, or even Summerfest, at all? I go to Renewal.
