This post about literary resources on swords is still very much under construction.... but this is an area we are trying to learn more about. Please let us know if you have expertise in this subject at greensleeves (at) hawaii.rr.com. We are looking for a weapon specialist to write articles for our journal. The above is said to be the best Viking sword book in English.
I am told that Jan Petersen wrote an excellent book on this topic called "Des Vikingesverd" This book is being translated into an English online version. Part of it is already available here:
Der Vikingsverd
There is also the Geibig typology.

For real swords, and other ancient weapons, this is a good site:
Kult of Athena
Thank you for this list. I was looking for any information about Vikings swords for a long time.
