I think it is almost certain that these are cases where the upper portion of the pommel has been lost... The examples originally published by Petersen have been re-examined by Fedir Androshchuk and he is positive they are simply damaged specimens of Petersen's type H.
Oh, I was too slow! |

I was also inclined to think that the upper part was lost. Many thanks to all for your help and your answers. Alex

This illustration from Alfred Geibig's Beiträge zur morphologischen Entwicklung des Schwertes im Mittelalter: Eine Analyse des Fundmaterials vom ausgehenden 8. bis zum 12. Jahrhundert aus Sammlungen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Neumünster: Karl Wachholtz Verlag, 1991) shows the main variations of Viking Age hilt construction.
