Very informative, so much for the used sword market in the old days

 

This is museum and serious research worthy by specialists on Celtic archaeology, not just an artifact.

 

I mostly give such items to museums..

 

These should be studied and published. You're doing the right thing.

 

Amazing object!

 

...that is a fanstastic find!..it looks almost Oriental..whats the measurements @galba68 ?

 

Others also bent swords as part of a ritual.
