Hi Robert.
Looking good cannot wait to see the finished sword and see the other two that you are going to forge for the museum.

Robert, this came out great. Really gives me a sense of the original in its prime. Definite the no-nonsense weapon of a man who meant business. Scabbard is great too!

I've always been a fan of simple, neat lines. This is a beautifully accomplished piece. And
I truly enjoyed tuning in to follow the progression to completion ...

It would also be cool to see pictures of the sword when they create the display at the
museum.

So that's how the Petersen Type X sword would have looked like in the past as in Robert Môc's remake.

Are the hilt components blackened? Maybe it is just the hue of the iron but it looks to have been treated to me.

Jeremy, you mean the viking one or the XVIa? Viking does look like it's blackened.

Stunning work Robert.

The type X came out great.

The next one will be even nicer!
Very interesting inscription in the blade.
I´d like to learn more.

Robert,

The Type X looks great. I'm even more excited for the XVI. It looks like the original sword in pristine state must have been a very lively and agile blade. My guess is that your reproduction would be a joy to handle.

Thank you.
What you want know,Peter?
Sword was found during the gravel dredging,so blade was deformated and then straightened in museum.Blade have hexagonal section in all lenght and tip is relatively thin.Rather rough piled structure is visible on the blade.Inlay is
Small cross,R.H.A.P.S-in circle on oneside and small heart V.D.G.N.cross in circle on other side.Hole in crossguard is big-14X35mm,so I think grip end was inserted into crossguard-like on ancient sabres.
