Just yesterday I found out that the power metal band 'rebellion' have a song about the ulfberth sword
Rebellion - Ulfberth - YouTube
Across the rivers and the sea
Here is what you want and need
Swords from Franconia
Their blades shining like a star
We search the furs that you hold
We'll pay fairly as i told
Coming peaceful for the trade
So come close don't be afraid
But you did not come for trade
Faces grim you draw your blades
You might have picked your victims wrong
Northern warriors bold and strong
Cause norsemen we are
From the land of ice so far
If you choose to pick a fight
The price might well be your life
Ulfberth Ulfberth � sword of a master
Whisteling death as i swing thee faster
Ulfberth Ulfberth � spin like a wheel
Dealing death � steel you feel
So my Ulfberth he starts
To come alive like a beating heart
Moving vivid in my hand
A dance of death certain end
Springing lightly from thoat to throat
A kiss of steel where once was hope
Digging deep a smile in red
Shattered words on lips of death
Have i told you not before
The price is high you know the score
On the ground your comrades lie
And like a fool you run awayGeezer likes this.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.
To spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the Last Day

I got one at home!
This island is full of viking age stuff, the museum wont take a sword unless there's something special about it.

You are lucky. Here in Greece, it's different. Someone from my father's village almost got in jail for having a rusty Macedonian helmet he found in his field.Originally Posted by Lemur
About your sword, if you would like to share a photo or two, I would very much appreciate it.

Haha, yeah, here you at least should report your find and then let them decide otherwise you're heading for trouble.
Lots of finds they just make a note about and let the finder keep it, but your not allowed to sell it or god forbid export it.
I'll try and get some photos of it but it's mostly a a very rusty stick.

Here, they just take what you have, ask you where you found it, then quarantine the whole area for a few years. If there is something, you lose your land. If not, in 5 years or so, you get it back. That's why people usually don't report any findings, and, illicit trading of antiquities is a flourishing job. I have even seen them on the bay.
About the sword, I know. Unfortunately, all of the ancient swords look like a stick with a guard. Steel rusts. I want to see how Excalibur would look after so many years in the lake.
