Changes

The following table attempts to marry Rygh's types to Petersen's typology and to Wheelers more simplified typology. Unfortunately no one has attempted to do this before and so I Although Pierce matched some of them as did Oakeshott, we have been forced unable to try and guess as find a reference that attempts to match them all. The table here is our best as possible the correlation between guess at correlating the two different systems. It is worth noting that a number of sword forms do not sit well within Wheelers types and so I we may rearrange some of them at a later date as more research is done and opinions are changed. <br> The typology used by Viking-Age Compendium is included on the far right. We have continued Pierce's practice of colouring the hilts to show those that have non-ferrous coatings. [PIERCE 2002:p.16]<br>
