Greetings, A good overview of swords etc from the 5-7th century is W.Menghins "Das Schwert im Frühen Mittelalter" Hilts are somewhat different though even by the 5th century...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
