When you put the "castile" next to the "Hedmark' and compare in the historical context, the Castile has the later hilt and pommel on the earlier blade, I happen to like the type X blade with the fuller going all the way to the tip and mostly straight sides......SanMarc.

That thread was about acquiring a Viking era sword...there were some examples but this wasn't one of them that I could tell.
That the Castile and the Hedemark share the same blade isn't so far fetched; the Type X blade was appropro from the late Viking age to around 13thC.

Yeah its all highly appropriate really so good all round, its just whatevers your flavor, late dark or early medieval.
We are living in a great time for swords, sword collecting, historical interest and re-enactment use ....... we are possibally seeing an expansion in this hobby at a greater pace/rate then many other hobbies (SCA, W/EMA, collecting, cutting, re-enactment etc etc).
I would not even be hesitent to say that the days we are living in now is a "Sword Renaissance".
