Luca I will try to help on this, the Sutton hoo sword has a fuller, what period is your lenticular sword for ? From Roman to Saxon period is a big difference in fittings. Also the context of the the pattern welded blade in the Roman period is different to the later periods. Miks has a few in his book but most are a sraight forward pattern but it looks like the hilts were organic so just the blade. The blade at Arbiea is pattern welded and were found in a 3rd AD context. So If you could be a give bit more on your thoughts of your blade maybe others may be able to help
