This sword was found in the 19th century together with two others in the banks of Fyris River in Uppsala, Sweden. It was probably forged in the first half of the 13th century. It is a rather large sword and relatively heavy, but it didn't feel unwieldy. The fuller has extensive inscriptions on both sides.
