If you want more information on the discovery of the 10th C Viking sword and the older pre-Viking sword in the River Shannon, the national Museum of Ireland sent me this youtube link for some more information.

Apparently the grip on the Viking sword has been
mineralized but in the process preserved. The grip bindings are rarely found so that is a
good bit of new information to be extracted by conservators.
Thank you for sharing the links about Viking sword. They are pretty useful.
