Viking Sword in Norway: Lost & Found ?

I think technology has advanced somewhat since 1869 however, I thought that was a fascinating story and well worth placing here... My point being that Norwegian Archaeology specialists are crediting this as genuine and presumably have run their special high tech tests to prove that~ thus are we not perhaps rather pre judging the issue ?

Interesting about the differing ages of the blade and the cross guard.
I wonder if it might have been an heirloom incorporated with the newer blade for talismanic purposes.

This guy says it's real.
