Viking sword program on NOVA
Hello All,
There is a one hour program on Viking swords airing in the US on 10 October. Information and short video clip is viewable here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient...ing-sword.html I am afraid it only plays in the US...sorry for those who can not view. I was was asked to make the modern copy of the old sword using what I assume were period techniques. Ric |

I saw the program last night on NOVA. Great program and great work by Richard. Do you have a pic of the finished/mounted sword you made? The program is a must for anyone interested in Viking swords.
