    Hi! This will qualify as my first post here. Anyway, I think you guys should check this site out -- http://www.jelldragon.com/vik_swords.htm

    It is more of a shop than an info site actually. But it shows pictures of museum replica viking blades and more. What piqued my curiosity is that these blades can actually be used and not just hung on walls as trophies. So one could essentially reinact the viking's fighting style and stance (btw, do we have forums on this). Plus, if you're interested, you can have a blade custom built .. the viking way of course, with runes on the blade, multi-lobed pommels, etc. They also have viking jewelry, horns, pendants of Thor's hammer, and leatherwork. Hehe, for viking aficionados (if you want to see images or save them for reference) or avid collectors.
