Yes, indeed, local local regional variations are surprisingly diverse, although they mostly fit into well-known typologies, you wrote and showed this in a very unusual and interesting form, I really liked it, thank you

good afternoon, thanks a lot, really.
and in spite of the schematic conventionality of the images, we still see many recognizable types, it is catchy.
Sincerely .

To me, this looks rather like a type Z (Petersen typology). See p. 261 of Marks of Fire, Value, and Faith. This would be a late viking age sword.

Do you have the KM number for the sword? We might be able to find out more about it.
