J. Petersen studied a total of 8 swords of type W – he did not have more at his disposal. It turned out that they all originate from the West of Norway, or its border areas. Another W-type sword – or rather, the pommel, remaining from it, the researcher discovered in the Swedish Historical Museum. On this basis, he concluded that Norway of the X century is the birthplace of this type of sword. Further archaeological research found the types W on the territory of Russia and the Baltic states. In all, Petersen examined 8 W type swords, but only three of them have blades. All three are double-edged, highly corroded, so a dense examination of the blades was impossible. As one of the type-forming signs, the researcher named cast bronze hilt details — the pummel and crossgard. Pummel is one-piece, but it externally imitates a two-piece, and the top of the pummel divided into three parts. The effect is achieved by parallel decorative grooves
