I’m new to this and trying to get a good start with correct information
Would this cross guard have been in use during the battle of Hastings?
I have seen where some say it would have been used at a later date
And would not have been used at the battle of Hastings I have not seen
any one disagree about the pommel but just asking about it also just Incase

I believe there is an example shown in Records of the Medieval Sword from this period or even a bit earlier.
Just for an aside- I have owned a Norman and it is either my favorite or in running among my albions.
Another option would be their Reeve if you aren't sure about the guard on the Norman. It's a nice sword (I own one) but I really like the long and sleek look and feel of the Norman.
