Historic Society of Lancashire. 1969 p.109-116 :Comments- Found in a wooden box. <br>The illustration of the sword is from a watercolour by Edward Jones. In 1846 he illustrated the Claughton items held by the Society of Antiquities of London. An earlier watercolour was made by the amateur antiquarian John Weld and found as a loose leaf in his sketch book and bearing the date 1834. There are a number of differences between the two drawings including the shape of the crossbar. Weld shows it as being straight where as Jones shows it being slightly curved.  |Wilson 2008} <br> == Unique Swords and those of other styles ==''Viking Age swords not covered by Wheeler'' {| |- valign="top" id="Eigg"|width="100pt"|[[File:sword_eigg.jpg|thumb|100x150px|left|alt=Eigg]]|width="600pt"|'''Scotland, Eigg ''':Current Location- National Scotland of Scotland:Blade- :Hilt- Petersen type D, length 150mm :Bibliography- [GRIEG 1940:p.64-66] :Comments-  |- valign="top" id="Cawood"|width="100pt"|[[File:sword_cawood.jpg|thumb|100x150px|left|alt=Cawood ]]|width="600pt"|'''Cawood''':Current Location-:Blade- :Hilt- :Bibliography- [http://www.historyofyork.org.uk/themes/anglo-scandinavian-york/the-cawood-sword www.historyofyork.org.uk] [http://www.vikingrune.com/2011/02/cawood-sword/ www.vikingrune.com] :Comments-  |- valign="top" id="Canwick"|[[File:sword_canwick.jpg|thumb|100x150px|left|alt=Canwick]]|'''Lincolnshire, Canwick Common, Lincoln''':Current Location- British Museum:Type- :Find Date- Unknown:Total Length- (Complete):Blade- Illegible script of silver inlay:Hilt- Guard of Petersen type Q but pommel different.:Scabbard- none:Bibliography- [BJORN and SHETELIG 1940:p.99]  |- valign="top" id="Raven"|width="100pt"|[[File:sword_raven.jpg|thumb|100x150px|left|alt=Ravens Willow ]]|width="600pt"|'''Cambridgeshire, Raven’s Willow nr.
