I read about this find a month ago and my first thought was that yes, has to be Finnish. Why? Just because Finland is the nearest place where we have seen plenty of these swords and connections between Finland and North Estonia were still tight during that time. Now also Estonian research deny the Scandinavian origin. One reason for this new idea was the find of a brooch with typical Finnish-North Estonian shape. Not much, but obviously something more is to be published sooner or later. Especially so called crawfish brooches were distinctive in Finland, but I have to wait more detailed pictures before saying more because Estonian vocabulary can differ from what I have seen. The new article states:
"Crossbow-shaped brooches were usually worn by warriors from southwestern Finland and northwestern Estonia on the passage that intersects with the main thoroughfare of the Eastern Route," Kiudsoo said."
I'll wrote more after more details are revealed, including pictures of those finds.
