Norfolk term for old weapon? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

broadsword

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'old weapon?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'norfolk term' is the wordplay.
'norfolk' becomes 'broads' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'term' becomes 'word' (a term is a word).
'broads'+'word'='BROADSWORD'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for broadsword that I've seen before include "means of attack" , "cutting weapon" , "Wide-bladed weapon" , "cutter" , "old weapon" .)
