I once read and am trying to find a short story of a man from ~1970 who is transported back to ancient Scandinavia. Here he integrates with a band of Norse hunters who then get in a fight with foes. His use of a .45 Auto and subsequent disappearance creates the legend of Thor and his hammer.

Can anyone help me with the author, title and where to find it?

"Frost and Thunder" by Randall Garrett in the anthology Time Wars as per Help Identify Viking Time Travel Short Story.

My weapon has a name now, as Sten suggested. I looked up a man who knows Norse runes, and I had another man engrave those runes on my pistol, on the right, just above the trigger.

The engraving says: Mjolnir.

Yah.

The original.
