Thanks for the URL to the National Museum and Reykjavik pictures. <br /><br />It's kind of hard to tell from the photos in the article whether there are wear marks on the Cork weaving sword or not. If I find out, I'll either post again or edit this post.Cathy Raymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580681386443534011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670213486548123819.post-81190053716162578812017-10-01T15:14:31.303-04:002017-10-01T15:14:31.303-04:00There's good few weaving swords found in Irela...There's good few weaving swords found in Ireland - not exactly the same type as the Cork one, but there's one from the 'Viking-Age Decorated Wood' book by James T. Lang, a Dublin find: http://photo.qip.ru/users/vlasta/200694277/215057952/ and another one, from Clombly Bog, currently on display in the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin: http://photo.qip.ru/users/vlasta/200694277/215057953/ - btw I've seen one weaving sword in the Reykjavik Museum - http://photo.qip.ru/users/vlasta/200686978/215057959/<br /> - it has really clearly visible wear marks left by the warp threads, I wonder if such marks can be traced in any way on the Cork find.Dorota Rawicz-Lipińskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830620354251421881noreply@blogger.com
