Not exactly a repro, since the originals didn't have bolstered grips (but this one will be carried, so I wanted the strength)-80CrV2, Amarante and brass:

that's pretty sweet looking - do the fore and aft bolsters socket the handle?

The bolster does, the pommel doesn't. I think the originals had a cap pommel (and they definitely had no bolster)
