Awesome post, thanks. Yeah as far as I can tell the Osterburken Grips generally fall under Germanic Type-I (Not sure if Cumberland falls under that, it's later) which the no.4 from Nydam and the hilt from Samsun both belong to.

Hexagonal/Octagonal grips seem to be a uniquely 5th century trend, I think? Not sure.
