Viking glass and horns from Sweden.

No, I don't work for Ragnar, but I have spent
quite a bit of money on his good quality products.
This is the only English language source I know of
for horned beakers. 

I personally like the man. Probably bought twenty
items from him and been quite pleased with all
of them.

As is my occaisional wont I have been looking about
the web for axes again today. Why I don't know but I like them.

I still have one of four on order but I bought a really nice
Viking War Axe from Albion Armourers, with a thin
blade and a thickened edge. Nicest I've seen actually
and I've been looking for quite a while.

mentions a 360 degree view CD of the Lewis Chessmen.
They are wonderful for many books of primary finds.
Stepping Through Time for later periods is the best book on
the subject. For earlier periods I would still consult 
Primitive Shoes from the Museum of Denmark.

Incidentally, these people deal primarily only in authentic kit.
They are very famous for it. The guy on the first webpage is the
owner. They erect an actual building (two story) at Pennsic each
year.  They are wonderful for period archery supplies. They've
been featured in some of the recent History Channel programs.
