C7/8th Viking hoard of swords from Estonia

[monacoauctions]

A hoard i aquired in Estonia - these are migration era viking swords from the C7/8th. In total there were 8 found together, for some reason all have the pommels missing. I wonder if the swords were never finished ? odd that all were minus pommels so i am guessing that maybe they were lost/buried before being finished. Some of them have traces of the original wood grip still remaining. They all need conservation but are pretty good and solid. There are still some very good pieces to be aquired in the Eastern Block !

Awesome find! What are they made out of, and what kind of area did you find them in that they held up so well, for so long?
