 |
|
Hello,
I'm planning on making a 'complex-hilt' for a 'bastard' or long sword and would greatly appreciated pictures of such hilts to get ideas from.
Thanks.
P.S. I've already looked through the galleries here and I'm just looking for as much as I can find.

Thank you Rodolfo. I was hoping to find a longsword example with side rings and at least a knuckle bow, and the Musée de l'Armée Paris thread showed just that. Now I can make a longsword with enough protection for the hand to make full guantlets unnecessary.
