Swords of the Viking Age

Description:

"Ian Peirce, in his quest for the best representative examples of the broad diversity of swords of the time, has selected and catalogued sixty from the hundreds he has handled in museums and collections throughout northern Europe. The majority are rarely seen or newly shown here, though a few - too important to omit - may be familiar to specialists."--BOOK JACKET.
