Default Shell guard question.

Hello chaps,

I have a question for you.
On Jims very interesting thread re. Scottsh swords, we talked about linings in the basket hilt, and it was agreed on they were very common.
I have an old English back-sword, from I'm told the 1630's with a shell-guard, and a silvered gryffon-head pommel. (silver's nearly all gone, and it now looks mainly brass!)

Q;
Would a shell guard on such a sword also have originally had a liner?

I do thank you that there is this forum! we can bring any question, and nearly always get an answer!

Best wishes,
Richard.
