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 this subject, and has a few other relevant articles, but not in English as far as I know. Vytautas Kazakevicius has also done some work on this, and compiled a list of 64 examples in museums in "On one type of Baltic sword of the Viking period".
