Would this be "The Sword in Anglo-Saxon England: by H.R. Ellis Davidson

 

Boydell Press, isbn 0-85115-355-0?

 

A great book and very readable--I've been trying their suggestions on

possible blade etchants, salt and vinegar, tannic acid both seems to work

as required---I hardly ever use ferric chloride any more!
