Yep, nicely done as it is an appealing simple design. There is precious little evidence for the early handle shapes. I know, as I am currently researching a handle for just that period for a very nasty Fontilet (Miks)I will be doing after I get a Falx finished. He doesn't "do" Hispaniensis, so some of the blades he calls Fontilet spatha's have all the makings of a stabbing sword.

The guard looks to be made of beech, what is the pommel made of?
