Feel free to do so...
It is a bible of the first half of the 9th Cent. Maybe created near Paris, today France.

The sword was found in a grave in Bräunlingen, as the display "caption" says:

But the handle is incomplete, not as in the picture.

Thank you, Iagoba.
Though the handle is incomplete, I'm convinced of the drawing's accuracy given that everything else shown is 6th century Frankish weapons.
Laudes for you.
