===Blades with inscriptions===
A number of blades have inscription forged into them. The two most common are Ulfberht and Ingelrii. <br>
<br>
====Ulfberht====
Anne Stalsberg has recently published an article on 166 finds of swords marked with Ulfberht signatures [STALSBERG nd]. It would appear that Ulfberht blades were made in the Carolingian Empire and can be found on swords dated from 800AD to 1000AD [STALSBERG nd: p.8]
 
====Ingelrii====
Oakshott has dated the Ingelri swords from 925AD [OAKSHOTT 2002:p.8]. Some of the Ingelri swords contain the additional words ‘Me Fecit’ which translates as ‘Made me’
 
====Other makes====
Oakshott lists a few other makers names that have been found on Viking Age sword blades [OAKSHOTT 2002:p.8-9]
