Posted info from book
Regards Brennivs
I think the first picture request is the A655-1 Straubing - Nydam, or just a really poor pic!.
The museum exhibit pic may be A655-2 Lauriacum - Hromowka, not certain about the scabbard but seems like it may be from the same sword, looks like a reconstruction of the listed components?
From a Mound/Wagon (four Horses, 2 swords) grave not earlier then 276 AD.
Not certain to be sure, but seems likely.

"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
