Two pieces of soapstone mould for two different swords (B8757). The forms are relatively whole but in parts: one is  glued together from four parts, the other from two parts. There is crushing damage at the breaks, but the blades of the swords can be reconstructed. Both swords have tangs, one is shorter than the other but has a longer tang. The forms measure L 59.6 cm x W 2.8 cm D 2.8 cm and L 47.5 cm x W 6.9 cm D 2.8 cm. The longest sword has measured L 56.5 cm W 4.8 cm. The other has measured L 50.2 cm W 4.5 cm.

Context:
Found around 1920 during fresh clearance at a depth of approx. 30 cm, almost on bedrock and close to a large rock. The place is 20-30 m from the farmhouse at Slottsvik.

Location:
Slottsvik (151/7), Ålesund, Møre & Romsdal

Date:
The swords are similar to those dated to the Younger Bronze Age period 4 and the forms are therefore dated as such.
