A well known leading expert on medieval swords comments that the original could be from as early as 1100 to as late as 1250. And we trust that he should know.
The pommel, a faceted wheel, is a shape encountered in the Leppaho Viking swords, a group of swords excavated from Viking graves dating from 980-1000.
