Well, it could always be a very good fake, but nothing on this sword looks obviously wrong to me. Form is right for a 12th century european sword, Xa or maybe XI. Very similar to famous Finnish swords excavated by Leppaho.

Interesting response, thanks. I'll see if I can find some photos to post of the Finnish Leppaho swords. I must admit this is not an area of expertise for me- hence my interest in getting some views and knowledge on this sword. I am more at home with plate armour!
