Thanks for showing some of your great collection, Cédric! 
 
I really like it to see multiple examples of each variant to be able to study the finer nuances in style. 
 
Sorrily hardly any musea allow for such detailed comparisons nowadays; the Rietberg Museum in Zurich (Switzerland) is worth a visit regarding hilts (your display was much nicer though). 
 
Regards, 
Kai
