Dear Mr. Cornwell, what kind of Sword is Serpent-Breath ? (In German -> Schlangenhauch) in the third Book of the Saxon Stories, Uhtred brings his Sword to an Armorer to repair the wooden Grip which is compounded with two pieces of wood … in the knob the armorer has to put in Hild´s Cross … would you give me an example or a link, where I can see a similar sword ? also interesting for me is Uhtreds Dagger “Wespenstachel” (sorry, I only know the German word) … I am looking forward to the German Version of Sword Song … Best Regards Martin Nolte (Deutschland)
