Hello Jasper,

Thank you for your information’s. The authenticity of the sword was confirmed by the expert for arms and armour of the auction house.

More information's on the sword:

Overall length: 87.4cm
Blade length: 76.6cm
Lower guard (crossguard) length: 10cm
Upper guard length: 8.5cm
Blade width under lower guard: 5.5cm
No fuller!

Unfortunately I don’t have Petersen Publication on Viking swords. Could you send me a copy of Page 84 where I could see the same type of swords?

Regards,
Richard
