[Regia-NA] viking bows

[Chris Boulton]

Don't buy one with horn nocks - can't provenance them.
Don't buy one with linen backing - can't provenance them.
Do buy one that flexes even through the handle - and bear in mind there's no
provenance for handle coverings.
There are good finds from Dublin and Hedeby that are pretty much in period,
and match stylistically with the manuscript pictures throughout the period.
