Type Y sword "Pagodenknauf" 9-10 century
The sword was purchased from an auction website recently. It is characterized by a pommel inlaid with precious metal, with a cross, and a guard with a zig-zag decoration. This sword will be particularly suitable for a Christian warrior due to its decoration, although a viking may have used such a weapon, acquired at great expense from an arms dealer.
The blade is very wide. The impact in combat was to be particularly violent. The blade is also characterized by a double gutter, which is not common.
