based on the Vaage find in 'Swords of the Viking age' by Ian Peirce
I elaborated on the existing details to produce the bronze guard and pommel parts,as well as a grip ring on the stained and oiled Maple.
32": blade with a weight of around 2.4Lb,weight forward of 5" hence a purposeful piece.
This will be the first of these,so currently For Sale,PM or contact via FB page or the castlekeep.co.uk website.

To me the Vaage sword looks quite impressive, especially the hilt. ;)
