This is an interesting article: www.guardian.co.uk/science/2008/dec/27/archaeology-vikings-swordSome Viking swords were among the best ever made, still fearsome weapons after a millennium. The legendary swords found at Viking sites across northern Europe bear the maker's name, Ulfberht, in raised letters at the hilt end. Puzzlingly, so do the worst ones, found in fragments on battle sites or in graves.

It's important to know that Ulfberht was a brand that functioned for about 200 years.
