The pommel on the the sword is questionable? The peened tang should be squared off and flush and not domed

I dont believe that blade is 800 years old.Looks artificially corroded. Not natural.Too fresh and healthy for that age.Funny.That team is expert in manufacturing, opss sorry ; "excavating" unlimited,infinitive number of perfect, authentical looking bronze weapons, but when it comes to steel and iron, they are quiet back from that level.

Cool Urban Legend

You guys don't get to the rivers of Europe very much I guess .

Didn't you know about the huge wooden barge that has as its bottom one gigantic electro magnet ?
It is towed up and down all the rivers of Europe and the U.K. ; they're hauling a good ton and a half of relatively pristine ancient swords per week from the depths to supply the auction houses of the world .

It's an industry !
