Vikinswords in Finland

This "man" founded in field near village "Janakkala". Near place has been early primitive "castle"-perhaps there has been perhaps more battles this area...-and same field found one other sword and other reliks in diffrent place-not far away this skeletonman. Both sword was situated like on photo-in same grave-the grave is re-constructed now in museum.Swords was expencive on those days-and is quite good guess that this older viking-era sword was family relik.

I belive You can find more if You write to google "Janakkalan miekkamies".

regards Markku
