Last year I started working on the idea of a custom hilt for my hopefully, soon to be AT1517. Sadly, things don't always go as we like in life and the project had to be postponed due the extreme lacking of funds. Now it's a new year (nearly half way thought it actually) and there is new hope. I've started toying again and this is what I've come up with. I'd like to hear the opinions of others more experienced and knowledgeable than myself about my idea. Do you think they are historically inspired or historically accurate? The first three are the design I will most likely commit to. The last two were earlier works and the basis of the first three. I await your thoughts.

I think it's accurate. I'm recently having a custom order made to Tinker that features the same quillon and rings style. I dug up some antiques photos that have the same setup.
