Magnificent iron sword with gold and silver plated hilt and wooden scabbard with silver doping shoe. Broken in several pieces, but complete.

It was discovered in the autumn of 1933 by Richard and Olav Kjellingland on the farm Snartemo in Southern Norway.

They found a large stone slab with a cavity underneath, which contained a stately tomb. Inside the tomb, they found the sword, which later became known as the Ancient Snartemo Sword.

Total length 92 cm, of which the scabbard with doping shoe 79 cm. Upper and lower hilt length 9.6 and 11.1 cm respectively.

This is @_guland_ (Dude with the Beard). He lives in Norway and got me into climbing. Rolf is one of the Scandinavian fit nerds who does extreme shit every now and then, despite being hella quiet most of the time. . Over the weekend, Rolf, his father and brother did this 80 mile hike in 18 hours. Straight. It's called the CHILD WANDERING PATH that stretches from #KVINESDAL - #SNARTEMO . This history of this path is sobering. I invite you to look it up. They started at midnight and you can see the rest. . Rolf never ceases to amaze me. He doesn't make huge fan fare about his victories or goals. He just does them, does them well, has a beer and goes home to wash dishes. . He doesn't need trophies or medals. He just handles business like a boss and with a smile. . Rolf is an awesome dude. . Bravo, Rolf. 🍷 . #hiking #fitness #norway #🇳🇴 (at Norway) https://www.instagram.com/p/COpzdoAM88H/?igshid=1rc9pjbwza8im
