It's not much help, but I found an article talking about the find. It doesn't mention where the original ended up, but it does mention a reproduction at a heritage centre in Faversham.
It sounds like the find was scattered pretty widely through the major museums, but I'm not having any luck finding the sword.
I don't have it in front of me, having loaned it to my brother, but is the line drawing you're referring to from Archeology of Weapons, by Ewart Oakeshott?

Edited to add:
You have excelent memory, there is ringhilt mentioned in Oakeshott, but the other one - there were two of them.

Hi Petr,
Have been looking for an article in Archaelogia (possibly) that discuss's ring hilts. Seen it along side other articles I have read. Unfortunately I have had no luck so far. All my online search's cant seem to find Archaelogia articles.
But found this which shows that there may some information around.
A catalogue of Anglo-Saxon and other antiquities discovered at Faversham, in Kent
http://books.google....ed+at+Faversham,+in+Kent&source=bl&ots=RvlzcQMy7d&sig=KPmav-BFECwXQZx2E3fdIaPTVMY&hl=en&ei=uIBZTKHpF8Pv4AbBnNirCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CBMQ6AEwAw#v=twopage&q&f=false
I could only see a few pages, not sure if this is me or only a few pages are available.
Will keep looking to see if I can find anything
