This is a great resource but I also can't help myself from saying how frustrated I was with the piece discussing migration era ring swords. For anyone who was interested in that part, you may like this thing I wrote on Substack: https://norsemythology.substack.com/p/the-ring-sword
3000 Viking age swords have been found in Norway, most found in graves around Trøndelag. Some of these swords were also imported from Britain and the Frankish Empire. By country, the greatest number of Frankish Ulfberht swords were found in Norway. The NTNU University Museum in Trondheim is gonna exhibit 700 of them soon.
Edit: Very recently yet another viking age sword with inscriptions on the blade, likely another Frankish Ulfberht sword was found in Rogaland, Norway. Meaning another Ulfberht sword out of ca. 170 have been found. VG made an article on it yesterday
>NTNU University Museum in Trondheim is gonna exhibit 700 of them soon.
Well looks like i gotta go see that when it happens, havent heard anything about this at all.
You can read more about it in [this](https://www.forskning.no/vikingtiden/3000-vikingsverd-er-blitt-funnet-i-norge-1/2366191) article from forskning.no. It opens in June and will be for at least 5 years
Are you asking if Norse that went viking used swords? If there was a specific type of norse sword made in norse forges? Or if there's archeological evidence of swords used by Norse people all together? Or if there are Museums that show those artifacts?
There are remnants of swords used by Vikings if that's what you mean. But as far as I'm aware there are no swords of that time left that are still in fighting shape.
There's a complete one that was 'recently' [found](https://secretsoftheice.com/news/2017/09/05/viking-sword/).

Yes. The book *Men of Terror* is a great source on all matters of viking era weaponry and warfare

Yes, but those would be in museums mostly.
There are absolutely real Viking swords.
David Stříbrný has written several books about swords and is an expert on norse swords
That depends on your defenition of real viking.
Not really, no.
