I based this sword on a book I found by chance in the public library. It is 
called "Warfare in the Classical World" and shows fairly detailed 
descriptions of different era weaponry. What you mention about the grip was 
also my own concern, but is corroborated by  the reconstruction in the book. 
Nevertheless, I think I shall make it a bit thicker where it joins the 
guard.
