This sword has been seen by G.F. Lawrence, who has approved of its being genuine and of a patina seen on other Thames bronzes. See R.E.M. Wheeler in Antiq. Journ. VII for type.

Unassociated find
Part of bronze sword blade; four rivets still in position at base of hilt, and the blade is bevelled from a central ridge to give two cutting edges. Slight flange along the edge of the hilt gives it a thickened edge. The point and the lower part of the blade are missing; so is rest of the hilt and the hand grip has done. Badly damaged cutting edge.

England,Cambridgeshire,Chippenham,Badlingham Road 1,"The site...was upon the open field to the right of the road leading from the village street to Badlingham, and at about 85 yards from it and the fence separating the field from the strip of meadowland which intervenes between it and the brook. At this point which is just below the brow of the rising ground, some men digging for gravel in the middle of last December (c. 1883-6), unearthed the relic at a depth of about two and a half feet from the surface. It lay with its point directed to the North West and its hilt at a lower level, upon, and partly within, a stratum of picked flint stones of larger size than the average of these found in the surrounding soil, which is of sandy nature and unprofitable for sifting..."(full extract in documents file) (a)
