Like ski poles! :lol:
I have a Gordon Highlanders sword from about WW1 vintage which has a combo metal/braided wire grip! Not quite the same era, but shows that anything that works is used , eventually!
I saw a relief of a mainz gladius with the same spindly grip as my first albion, but perhaps they had a glove for tha sword hand? It is too thin for comfort barehanded!
