Crispus,

thanks for your detailed thought and I think you're right on! I should have taken a better look at the imagebase, it's all there :oops:

So, let's try to boil this down and discuss it from here - how about:

BLADE TYPE
- type A
- type B
- type C

TANG
- frame tang
- rod tang

GRIP
- thin organic inner plates with triangular section metal grip plates
- thicker organic inner plates covered by thin iron 'skin' either in two pieces or one piece folded over
- fully oganic grip

SHEATH
-frame sheath
-metal enclosed sheath (better wording?)
-metal front plate sheath (better wording?)

DECORATION (by Obmann's grouping)
-Group 1
-Group 2
-Group 3
-Group 4
-Special Forms

Anything else we need? Place found perhaps? Thanks for all opinions!
