During the tlrst twehe centuries of the Christian era the sword varied little In the essential features from the lines of the broadsword. The blade was lengthened , It Is true , aud less curved , but the crosspleces of the hilt-were usually straight , aud the simple , workmanlike look was preserv ed. The change to the elaborate hilts of several centuries later was made gradually. There wore slight changes In the crosspleees from time to time the stiff straight lines little by little began to curve gently toward the blade. The knob at the cud of the handle , usually a simple disk or ball of metal , was varied into u , trefoil , a tinting or a small Maltese cross. Blades j and scabbards were engraved with In scriptions , a practice which had In-1 deed been found lu Danish burrows f bearing unmistakable Hunlc chnrac- tern cut lu the bronze blades.
