Thanks for all the info. Btw, I found some very useful info on early pattern welding here: https://www.tf.uni-kiel.de/matwis/amat/i...b_3_3.html
It seems first true pattern welded swords with twisted rods were already made by late la tene smiths.
Btw, I don't plan to cover to wide period with this sword, I was just curious what are my hilt options with a twisted pattern lenticular blade. I think I will go with one of the late 4th/early 5th century types. I read Tolkien's Lay of Sigurd and Gudrun recently and I think I would like this one to represent the time that inspired these poems... Late Empire, Attila, Burgundians... Beowulf's time too...
