Description
There are many variations of the inscription, including +VLFBERHT+ or VLFBERH+T. The inscription is believed by some to be the name of a Frankish person whose name and manufactury became the basis of a trademark. The name was used though by different bladesmiths for several centuries.
The sword is typical for its pattern having a fine inlay decorated guard and pommel. The blade is of a common pattern in the late Viking age. This kind of blade remained in use up to the 13th century.
The sword was purchased from Monacco Auctions who in turn had purchased this sword and several others from the Magnusson family.
