7th Century Swedish Sword in Leather Scabbard, Hilt Adorned with Gold and Garnets

  1. Seem to me some ancient writing on pommel. Also the sheath is made of bark wood. And the leather was decorated after it was fitted on the wood, because where leather gone, see marks in wood. On one u see part of the sword. Thank u for doing this. In Canada there is a river where u can find garnets by the 10's of thousands, at one time there must been same in Europe.
    I was shocked when I read vikings had influenced by Islam. But how?
