A double-edged iron sword found in 1989 during the construction of the narrow-gauge railway near the village of Żydowo. Archival notes preserved in Szczecin indicate that it rested 125 cm below ground surface, together with two skulls or skeletons.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: MNS/A/22236 The element separating the blade from the hilt and protecting the sword-holder's hand is in the shape of a curved bar with the ends pointing towards the blade. The base of the hilt - the element crowning the handle - has its ends facing upwards. The cap of tripartite form is set on them. Its central part is the highest. The hilt pin is wrapped with a silver wire, forming the so-called stepped ornament on one side, and an X on the other. According to the systematics of the Norwegian researcher Jan Petersen from the beginning of the 20th century, the weapon from Żydowo should be assigned to the Z type of swords dated to the 11th century, most often discovered in the British Isles, Scandinavia and the Baltic areas.
