Maybe others had no time to see the thread yet ?

I know absolutely nothing about these (or other

) swords but i happen to have Ian Pierce's work and, Petersen type M and Wheeler type I, corresponds evidently to this example, as you expertly noted.
But obviously is not enough to have books on things; one has to know by mind where to look for them

Thanks for the dimensions.
the parallel blade without fuller of length 76 cm is indeed under geibig type 1.

f/m the sword looks very good and patterns are almost impossible to forge, but also an expert of auction house can only say something definitive about a Viking sword with a metalurgic report in hand.
