I was totally taken in. And now I'm guffawing. What a jolly jape.

OK, I really am done with the fish in a barrel now.

1. 9th Century Anglo-Saxon. Bet this was gorgeous when it was made. The swirls on the blade would have made it look all but alive.

2. This decorative pommel is from the Grimston sword.

3. This is what the blades would have looked like when they were first forged: this replica was forged in the same way and using the same materials used by the Anglo-Saxons.

You mean it's a ...

... forgery?

I guess technically it's not a weapon, but probably more practical than those over ornamented daggers and swords. Theres a big thing for them here in the US, which I can never fathom.

Are you sure that date is right? It looks a lot like damascus steel, but it's too early for that.

DanaC · 02-08-2010, 01:20 PM

The first two pics are from museum sites. The first one is dated to 9th century. The last pic is of a replica, so that's modern :P But it was made using the same technique they'd have used. Probably looks like damascus steel because it was 'pattern welded'.

Anglo-Saxon swords, like Viking swords, used to have very distinctive whorls and swirls down the blade because of the way in which they were forged: they twisted rods of metal around each other then beat them down, reheated them and twisted again, then beat them flat. It would take many metal rods to create the blade.
