Steve and Flavio,
Thank you for your interest and for the pictures. Here are a few that I took this morning. Hope you all like them. Would anyone like to take a guess as to the age of this sword?

Hi Robert,

It does look like a binangon with deity hilt. Here is mine http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=binangon will a simple (broken) bulbous hilt.

Yours is a very nice one...and yours as well Flavio!

Hi Manolo,
I remember yours from when you first posted it and ask about age. It is still a nice example (like all the others shown here) even with the hilt damaged.

Flavio,
I've got a question on yours. Is the hilt wood or horn? I can't tell from the pictures. Mine is horn.

Thank you all again for your interest and help.

Robert

Hello Emanuel, thank you Robert, mine is made of wood and I think that this is one of the elements to say that yours is older than mine

Just thought I'd add another picture of this sword with a few of its new friends.
