Well, here it is! I finally finished the hilt on my (very) Late Roman spatha. Based on the Illrup-Wyhl, var. Wyhl A578 from Miks, it comes from Gotland.
I would welkom thoughts on the approriate scabbard fittings, as the sword does not have an exact dating and could be more of a Migration Era or Merovingian sword then typicly Late Roman.
