Thanks for the dimensions.
the parallel blade without fuller of length 76 cm is indeed under geibig type 1.

f/m the sword looks very good and patterns are almost impossible to forge, but also an expert of auction house can only say something definitive about a Viking sword with a metalurgic report in hand.
