The pride of my collection...a real Viking sword
Here's my fave sword: a real Viking sword, heavily corroded but still in one piece. I'm looking forward to hearing your reactions!

Hi,
what a cool sword  and welcome to the forum . Have you ever thought of having it x-rayed ...I understand that the images would show the forge welded pattern. Certainly would look good ...the sword mounted next to a life sized x-ray image.Regards David |
