The weather is atrocious, the skies are grey, the roads are slippery.... Depression reigns supreme.....

Here is just a feeble attempt to cheer everyone up.

Just sold on E-Bay for ~$150 with 27 bids

Exact description:

This is a real amazing and rare

HUGE & MASSIVE

Iron SW0RD of VIKING Warrior.
Ancient KlLLING BIade WEAP0N
circa 1150 AD.

EXTREMELY RARE.

One of the DeadIiest Weap0ns in the Ancient world.

Precious and Stunning Viking relic in MINT condition.
With a typical Viking design.

USED IN BATTLES, CEREMONIES, RITUALS and everyday life

MADE of Iron. Rusty. UNCLEANED

WEIGHT: 377.6 g. Just as seen on the photos.

SIZE: About 600 mm. Just as seen on the photos.

Of Nordic European origin, either from Norway or Denmark, it was purchased many years ago in München, Germany,
together with some others from the same find.

Who is brave enough to stick his neck out ( or, as South Africans say" Put his cock on the block") to attribute and date this archeological sensation?

I also thought this, although so masked it could be anything) the "patina" looks unnatural too.

Kubur and Alex,
You have just shared a Nobel Prize!

Yup, just a rusty Russian bebut, 1907 pattern, likely brought to Germany as a result of WWI.

The same seller also is selling ( likely sold already) one rusty pickaxe and one rusty axe from what looks like Sears catalogue. Both were also presented as ancient Viking treasures, covered with blood and entrails of fallen enemies..

The funny thing, he is also selling a lot of genuine archeological finds. I have a feeling he was not trying to deceive: likely it was an insane self-deception...

But no matter what.... Caveat Emptor!
