Unreferenced date October 2009 The Germanic Iron Age is the name given to the period 400 800 in Northern Europe and it is part of the continental Age of Migrations . Germanic Iron Age The Germanic Iron Age follows the Roman Iron Age and the beginning is marked by the fall of the Roman empire and the rise of the Germanic king doms in Western Europe. In Scandinavia , it is followed by the Viking Age . It is divided into the early Germanic Iron Age EGIA and the late Germanic Iron Age LGIA . In Sweden , the LGIA 550 800 is usually referred to as the Vendel era , in Norway, the Merovinger Merovingian Age. During the fall of the Roman empire, an abundance of gold flowed into Scandinavia and there are excellent works in gold from this period. Gold was used to make scabbard mountings and bracteate s. After the Roman empire had disappeared, gold became scarce and Scandinavians began to make objects of gilded bronze, with decorations of animal style interlacing animals in Scandinavian style. The EGIA decorations show animals that are rather faithful anatomically, but in the LGIA they evolve into intricate shapes with interlace visual arts interlacing and interwoven limbs that are well known from the Viking Age .

Whether or not this was specifically Gungnir is, however, unstated. In Sigrdr fum l , the valkyrie Sigrdr fa advises Sigurd on the magical application of Runic alphabet Runes . She gives Sigurd advice and shares with him lore, including that runes were carved on the tip of Gungnir. Prose Edda According to chapter 51 of the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning , Odin will ride in front of the Einherjar while advancing on to the battle field at Ragnar k wearing a gold helmet, an impressive cloak of Mail armour mail and carrying Gungnir. He will then attack the wolf Fenrir with it. In Sk ldskaparm l , more information regarding the spear is presented. the spear was fashioned by the Dwarf Germanic mythology dwarfs known as the Sons of Ivaldi under the mastery of the blacksmith dwarf Dvalin . The spear was obtained from the dwarfs by Loki , the results of a scheme he concocted as a partial reparation for his cutting of the goddess Sif s hair. The spear is described as being so well balanced that it could strike any target, no matter the skill or strength of the wielder.
