Hi Aleksey, do we are still friends in facebook? I have replica of very close sword to this one here because i am donig la Tene III. I suggest you look in our historical forum Forum Gallicum about this item because the member Konrad form Germany asked the same question there: where can he find the orig. items of the Port Nydam finds of the swords and i found and wrote there some books and link suggestion about the finds from Port Nydam.
But the typical sword form of the la Tene III you can find by the Skordisc in Bulgaria, Serbia, by the other Celtic tribes like here in Slovenia, Germany, Nord Italy, etc ...
You should know that this blade form has typical scabard form of the la Tene III, aswell but their forms are not the same. This kind of the swords are normaly long ab 100 cm, sometimes more, but in Port Nydam you can find the same blades they are shorter, adapted in short variante latter wehen they used by the Romans. I would like to tell, that the form of this blades changed during the time and they are not the same in time ab. 100/90 BC ... to the middle of la Tene D2 (ab 50-40 BC) and at the end of the La Tene III (the end of Lt D2) at the beginning of the early Imperial time. Other words - there are many details on this sword's form, they changed during the 1. cent. BC.
I know, you are member in Kelticos, too.
There are long debates about this swords and blades, too.
