Hi Rick,
Yes, I too believe them to be trusting swords. The way I see it, it would be excellent to use, by someone who was riding, on something lower than himself, a food soldier or maybe a deer, there would have been quite a lot of power behind the trust.
The funny thing with mine is, that the hand guard can be screwed off. Figiel had a sword with the same kind of hilt on his auction, I wonder if his hand guard could also be removed.
