Mystery Viking Sword
This is a recent purchase of mine. Anyone recognize the makers mark on the pommel? The seller seemed to think it had been made in Norway.

Thanks,
Kevin

Incidentally, the seller also listed these dimensions.

Blade length= 80 cm
Blade width at widest point= 5.6 cm
Blade thickness at widest point= 0.5 cm
Sword weight= 3 lb 5 3/4 oz
balance point from tip of the blade= 64 1/2 cm
Looks a lot like the work of the English company, Raven Armoury, though I can't seem to find an image of the particular sword of theirs which I'm thinking of.
The pommel does look a lot like this one from Raven...

The chances of it being a Norwegian made sword is small unfortunately as there's next to no swordmakers here and the one I know doesn't have a mark at all.
For anyone who's interested, I've just received the sword and it feels quite nice. I do believe it is a Raven Armory sword, and plan on posting photos, observations and opinions when time allows.
