Thanks very much. My hunch on it was actually just the grip shape and backstrap, coupled with a Prussian blade. The drag as a replacement would also fit as my not quite making it fit in mind, but a small thing. Copper wire something I had noticed as a trend for the north sea area.
There is still a lot of European history I try to wrap my mind around and arms somehow tie into so much.
Thanks again!
