Hi

I'm planning to make a sword for a customer. Now, I already have a concept for the blade. It will be a type XVIII with a blade width of 4cm/ 1.57 inches and a length of 53 inches. The overall length of the sword well be 98cm/ 38.6 inches.
Now I need your help with the grip assembly because I'm not really sure(but I think so), if it is 100% historical accurate.
Here's the picture:
