Introduction
This article is about metal fittings that were probably attached to Sword Scabbards. I understand that Peter Paulsen comprehensibly covered the subject of Viking sword scabbard chapes in 1953 in his book Schwertortbänder der Wikingerzeit. Unfortunately we do not have access to this volume and so have created our own typology as detailed below.

Otherwise known as the 'Birka Bird'. Paulsen's type 'Scandinavian-Varangian'. Dated from late C9th to early C11th although at its most popular in the first half of the C10th.
