Hi Markus,

I've just replied to your enquiry in this mornings crop of emails from the Comitatus site Smile

But just in case,

I suspect you could use the blade from:

http://www.battleorders.co.uk/viking/s5 ... sword.html

build a new handle, and strip down the scabbard and re-build it.

There will be American sellers who will stock this weapon. I have not even handled this sword but it seems a reasonable start.
