It is from Lejre,hopefully there is more recent research or documentation about this saddle and the finds from the same place.
Søren Krogh (1970): Nyt fra Lejre (REL) 1970:1, Foreløbig rapport over
forsøg med rekonstrueret rideudstyr af jernaldertype, udført juli 1970.
If its seventh century, i cant tell.
But the spatha hilt has a more (roman iron age) late roman pommel,cross guard and scabbard slide.
It could be that when it was found, the finds were mixed.
