The Ulen Sword is an allegedly authentic Viking sword found in a field 3 miles west of Ulen, Minnesota where it is currently on display in the Ulen Historical Museum . However, it bears no resemblance to any sword of known early Medieval provenance and is almost certainly a 19th century French military sword. History The sword was found buried underground by Hans O. Hansen on his farm on April 20, 1911. Because of drought, Hansen decided to set his plow blades much deeper than usual, and unearthed the artifact. The blade of the Ulen sword is said to have had a 1 16 inch covering of rust, which Hansen polished away. The blade is 16 inches long the end of the sword has been blunted by a hammer or some other instrument . The pommel and the thick crossguard are made of brass. Design The sword s crossguard has a design on each side one side depicts a helmeted soldier, and the reverse is a breastplate covering a dagger and two crossed axes.

At about 80cm long, and constructed from six individual strands of carbon steel forged together, the sword would have taken several hundred hours to make, from conception to completion Fact date July 2008 , and would have been, in the words of Bamburgh Research Project director Graeme Young, the anglo saxon equivalent of a stealth jet .
