josephfromabove	1/5/2013 8:05:32 PM Hello, decent of you to post. Close K_4real, but it also a name. The one's that used the sword were pagans. Who were the pagans, and the origin of the name?
k_4real	1/5/2013 8:15:03 PM Joseph, I don't know much about swords. The main folks I recall using swords were Vikings. I think someone else is gonna have to take a crack at this.
josephfromabove	1/5/2013 8:21:43 PM Correct on Vikings, now the name?
k_4real	1/5/2013 8:30:26 PM I'll leave that one for someone else. Lol!
josephfromabove	1/5/2013 8:32:30 PM YOu were doing so well too, don't give in now.
k_4real	1/5/2013 8:36:57 PM Ru referring to the origin of the sword or the origin of the Vikings? Or are they one in the same? Lol.
josephfromabove	1/5/2013 10:25:56 PM No, the origin of the name?
k_4real	1/5/2013 10:42:24 PM Oh ok.. just looking @ the name, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it's German.
josephfromabove	1/6/2013 10:01:38 AM You have been doing some research on the subject matter obviously, and saying you are guessing, when the accuracy of your answers eludes me to believe you have been studying the question well. It is Frankish, which was in the region once called Gall, which is composed now of France, and Germany. The region of my earliest ancestors as well as scandanavia. The sword was 1000 years ahead of it's time for metal composition, and structural shape, and design of the point to pierce chain mail, hence feared in the battlefields, and a prize. It would bend rather than shatter, if struck it would not shatter, unlike it's predesessors, and successors. The shape was similar to an I beam with it's furrough in the center, and taper to the edges, and to the point rather than rounded like a horseman's sword, to cut along the rounded point by the swing from a horse. This sword was for all purposes.
josephfromabove	1/6/2013 10:04:49 AM The word †ULFBERH†T were inlaid in the hilt area of the sword. Note there were knock offs in the day, and the spelling of them were different.
k_4real	1/6/2013 1:54:03 PM Actually I was guessing. Just looking at the name, reminded me of some other German words I have seen before. If I had a computer I would've researched it, so I guess I did pretty good. Lol

k_4real	1/6/2013 8:45:52 PM True Joseph, but I don't go thru all that for a blog. Lol. Have a good night.
