Posting at Lee's request, some links to interesting comments from Peter Johnsson re. fake swords.

Viking sword sold for £32,000, suggested to be fake.

Another, sold for £16,000. Inlaid and pattern-welded, most likely fake.

Second-hand info, but passed on by a reliable forum member: XIV.6 in Records is most likely fake.

Probable fake with nicks to the blade added to suggest battle damage.
