"They say this is part of a helmet"- Very interesting- but I thought the similar item was now thought more likely to be a saddle part? More info here http://www.staffordshirehoard.org.uk/k453

Quote:One of the scabbard mouth plates featured a long triangular slot, demonstrating that it was from a sheath meant for a single edged weapon, probably a scameseax. I too noticed that but then the long oval shape overlapping the width of the blade seems not to be too typical of a scrammasax hilt but is so of a sword hilt. Some early Viking swords had single edge blades using the same hilt form as the double edged swords of the same era http://www.vikingsword.com/petersen/ptsn054.html so maybe this was a single edge sword?
