| 146 | Alan Williams presently (2005) interprets the +VLFBERH+T sword in the Württembergisches Landesmuseum, Stuttgart (inventory 1973-70), which he first reported in 1977, as having been formed from a billet of crucible steel folded twice and forged into a blade. This and three additional +VLFBERH+T swords formed of hypereutectoid steels interpreted as possibly being forged of crucible steels imported from the East are reported in 'Crucible Steel in medieval swords', Metals and Mines: Studies in Archaeometallurgy (London, 2007), pp. 233 - 241. |
