Salsan,
Congratulations on your beautiful sword! It looks very Germanic. But the symbol on the pommel is originally Celtic (triquetra -triangular knot). I think Tordenskiold was suggesting that the sword is a viking sword which seems plausible to me. The vikings had contact with Celts in Ireland and Scotland. Many viking swords were manufactured in Frankish territory. Merivingians were Franks so there is a connection. Unfortunately I’m not familiar with your particular pommel but I’m not an expert on swords of this era.
