I would agree with you on that. Blades are generally simple too and this does indeed seem to be an authentic ensemble worthy of preserving. I might attempt to replace a hilt if it displays real damage. Upgrading the quality of the hilt on an ensemble like this would not suit it's status in the culture IMO. It would also probably be difficult to find a small planar hilt of better quality that would fit the scale of a patrem.
I have a thing for patrems for some reason and have a few of them in my collection. I like this one.
