@ Andreas
Above you mentioned that, although these germanic double edged swords were influenced by celtic la tene swords, they had more differences than similarities. I wondering if you would be so kind as to go into some more detail on this. The only differences that I'm aware of are in the scabbards, e.g. the method of suspension, and the chapes. But what about the swords themselves, are there many differences between hilts or blades of late celtic and early germanic swords? Thanks in advance.
