I was like, “no way I’d give this away” and then law was like "The [landowner] sent a legal document saying they wouldn't take action on the condition that the sword was passed to a museum" and I was like, now I have to break into a museum (but in a very nice #research related way).
Not quite #VikingNews but it’s beautiful.
