Later Period Spathas design and construction
#4
Here is the feltwell, the scabbard throat differs from the Petersfinger and, Krefeld swords in that is punched dots instead of the more linear patterns on the others.
At the moment I think the Feltwell still fits with the Krefeld group, as the Brighthampton type scabbard mounts seem to be decorated with filagree and inlay work.

I also expect to find that the Brighthampton type is more likley to have a fullered blade than the Krefeld type. But, I don't have enough information to be sure.
