About the sutton hoo... Vince Evans inspected the remains of the original before creating a replica and found no evidence that it had a fuller. Check these threads: http://myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?...ince+evans and http://myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?...ince+evans
I am aware that there is a huge difference in fittings between fittings styles between late roman to saxon like sutton hoo. And I know how these styles look mostly. The thing is that I can't really make up my mind if I would like to fit my future sword like a late roman one, or later migration period like sutton hoo or vendel... So I was wondering if a lenticular blade with twisted pattern welded pattern, not straight lines piled, would really fit all these periods if fitted with appropriate fittings... I have seen a multi fullered 3rd century spathas pattern welded, but no lenticular ones... Also, I know goths and huns liked lenticular blades, but I am not sure if they used pattern welding...
