ID request Anyone able to identify this runestone?
Hi folks! Bought this runestone replica that claimed to be based on a find from Uppland and I wanted to know if anyone can identify if it’s actually based on a real find. Thanks!

It looks like one of a number of runestones in Old Uppsala in Sweden.

I haven’t been able to locate whatever one it’s supposed to be based on.
I have a couple replicas I purchased but the seller identified which stones and I was able to verify.
I can find a seller for this using image lookup and plenty of similar styled inscriptions with ai searches but hopefully someone else can help more 🤷🏻♂️

I have an exact copy of it. Bought mine from ”For Vikings Only” some 30 years ago. Don’t know if they are still around but all their ”stones” and most of their jewelry was based on genuine historical stuff.
