Thank you Norman.

When I wrote that the hilts come in small, medium and large I did not mean the hilt sizes, but the grip widths, you can especially see this on the diamond shaped hilts. The hilt shown is from one of Hendley’s books and shows a slim version of the diamond shaped hilt. Notice that the quillons are not flat, but the langets are square.

I wonder where we lost Sabretask?

Sorry I should have added that Hendley writes this hilt is from Jodhpur.
