They are still out there ! Now where's that guy who makes those nice handles ? This is all too much emotion for me and my Viking blood !

BTW that carving of sword makers in the article would make a perfect patch for BF !

Obviously, some saw the original article some time ago.

On one board, such finds are condensed to some dedicated threads

I had seen it posted and shared on my Facebook timeline no less than four times before seeing it here. I don't mean to be read as jaded but I have nothing to contribute as far as discussion goes except to relate having seen it posted on various venues when first published.

Cheers

A better picture of the sword in hand.
