Good honest piece, Iain. I like the older-style pommel and primitive blade. Would the hilt have had a leather covering do you think ?

The holes make me wonder if brass plates were fitted.

Nice sword, I like the short fuller which is reminiscent of earlier import blades.

Thanks Teodor, I really quite like these basic swords. An example with a similar fuller was posted quite some time ago on the forum. http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?p=20199

The fuller on my example is actually quite shallow.
