Introduction
This article is about metal fittings that were probably attached to Sword Scabbards. I understand that Peter Paulsen comprehensibly covered the subject of Viking sword scabbard chapes in 1953 in his book Schwertortbänder der Wikingerzeit. Unfortunately we do not have access to this volume and so have created our own typology as detailed below.
