I think it is almost certain that these are cases where the upper portion of the pommel has been lost... The examples originally published by Petersen have been re-examined by Fedir Androshchuk and...

Hello again Jasper,

Hungary... not so far off then! Searching for more comparisons from Hungary has not turned up anything interesting though. "Wisigradi" as in Visegrád perhaps?

The photos did not appear in the order I intended them, to match my comments... :confused:

Yes, I am familiar... ;)

Well done! My only doubt was that I had never seen the garland in the Saxon arms shaped as a semicircle, but that settles that. :)

Hi Jean-Luc,
The mark on your second halberd is familiar to me and I can refer to you a few examples, but I don't think this mark has ever been identified. More-or-less similar marks appear on...

How fortuitous!

I agree that the crossguard seems a little out of place, and completely dissimilar to every example of Curonian swords I have seen so far.

Tomsons seems to be the authority on...
