Middle 8th century, I think.
The four silver bands have half tear shape, so they will be seen only from one side. the "hobnails"/ Tascheles/tachuelas have the point bended inwards, as if after going through the leather/wood, they were bent to not harm the wearer of the weapon.
I will made more photos tomorrow to show this... :roll:
If anyone with more knowledge of German than me :oops: can read the last paragraph of the explanation (the pic with the drawing) will confirm this...and some more things I don´t understand :?

Jonwr, of course you can. please, send me the link, so I can read their comments.
BTW: Thaks, Brennius. You smell the steel from miles away, not? :lol:
