Hi Trond, welcome to the forum.

I believe we have corresponded in the past on the subject of Danish weaponry.

I frankly envy your collection. Mine is meek by comparison, but I have collected many Danish, Swedish and Norwegian items in the past. Love the functional simplicity that characterizes most of these weapons.

While I strongly dislike pirates and vikings in general, I do admire the latter's weaponry and accoutrements. The british helmet from Sutton-Loo and Drakkars for example, are both beautiful and terrifying.

Once again,

Welcome

Manuel Luis

As a collector of naval items of the pirate/privateer kind, this type as I understand it did make a popular weapon for some. Very nice...

My distracting post about another example of a Norwegian battle axe has been moved into its own thread.
