Bárta to make the Valsgarde sword? Well, he had already made one.

There are quite a few swords from Valsgärde, some graves like 7, have two. The book on the finds from grave 5, although written, has never been published. That particular sword has the most complex hilt of any sword from the 5th to 7th centuries that I have ever seen.

yes , I know that there is no publication , I have pictures from Wulfheodenas but no measurements to give to Patrick Barta , I write to a curator from Gustavianum museum of Uppsala to try to have some measurements but....
I search photographs with ruler (maybe a photograph of the display cabinet and another with ruler out of the cabinet at the same distance that the hilt to can have a good approximation of the measurements > rule of three )
thank you if someone have others ideas
