How did you do the upper roundel ?
Where could I find more info about the Glimmingehus finds ? |
Thanks.
Not sure if you mean the small or big rondel by "upper" so; big rondel - forge basic shape then grinding and filing, small rondel - done cold, i.e hand filed from 4mm sheetmetal.
Here is a link to some of the cataloged items at the Historical Museum, http://mis.historiska.se/mis/sok/mylist.asp?id=714
Gentes scitote,
vicine sive remote,
quod claret Suecia

OK so you mean the big roundel is just a single block of metal, right ?
Great link, thanks !

Yes thats right, i did not want to make it from sheet metal as seen in some originals, the blade on this one is bigger then the daggers ive seen with a sheet metal rondel, so i wanted a solid to balance the blade.

If you go to "föremål" and "lista sakord" you might be able to guess your way to some items, but this search engine can be a bit arduous to use, even for a swedish-speaking person..
