Hi Folks, 
 
Opps! Had a senior moment. 
 
German hilts had often a thumb ring to augment control. The Mediterranean grip consisted of wraping the firest and second fingers around the ricasso under the quillon. The Germans liked to hook the thumb into a ring/loop on the LHS of the quillons on a RHS hilt. 
 
Cheers 
Chris
