Hi Marcus
That is news to me, but as I mentioned in a previous post I don't really not know that much about late Roman swords, particularly going into the 5th century.
I am pretty sure though these swords are 4th or 5th century and the style would be okay for you.

Maybe you could mail the images to Holger and ask his opinion?

Note
I have just discovered the above swords have a metallic grip assembly. I guess that confirms metallic grips. Can anyone recommend a good book on late Roman swords?
Thanks, Andrew
