Squire Line Albion Mark
The Viking
(Viking Type H)
This
style of Viking era sword is referred to as a Type H hilt in Petersen's
Typology. It is the most prominent hilt type found on swords from the
Viking Age and spans a time period from late 8th C to late 10th C
The hilt components are investment cast in mild steel from original waxes
carved by Peter Johnsson, based
on Peter's first-hand examination and documentation of period originals
of this type. The components are tumbled to a satin finish.
The blade is classified as a Geibig Type 4 (which some consider a sub-classification
of the Oakeshott Type X), hand-ground from 1075 steel to a basic satin
finish, heat-treated by hand in the Albion Forge Shop.
These swords will not be sold sharp, unless otherwise requested by the
customer (sharpening available for a small additional fee.).The
grip is of stabilized birch, wrapped with black leather.

testimonial about the Squire Line Viking:
...Mike,
I must say that you are a really great guy to do business with.
Thanks for all the understanding and help.
Well! I must tell you that I had a hard week after I got my squire
line Viking sword, almost could not sleep without thinking about
it -- and if I didn't know better I'd have asked you: "Okay, guys,
which museum have you stolen this one from?"
-- Patrik Lindblom
