Evolution OF the sword.

During the first twelve centuries Of
the Christian era the sword varied
little In the essential features from
the lines OF the broadsword. The
blade was heightened. II Is true, and
less curved, but the crosspieces OF
the hilt were usually straight. and the
simple. workmanlike look was preserv-
ed. The change to the elaborate hilts
of several centuries later was made
gradually. There were slight changes
In the crosspieces from time to time
the stiff straight lines little by little
began to curve gently toward the
blade. The knob at the end of the
handle usually a simple disk or ball
of metal, was varied into trefoil, a
futing or a small Maltese cross. Blades
and scabbards were engraved with in
scrlptions, a practice which had in
deed been found in Danish barrows
bearing unmistakable Runic charac-
tiers cut in the bronze blades. The
