Thank you Wayne, very salient point about the capstan being peened, and I was thinking of those which are sometimes screwed on (I think a later feature perhaps).
Fernando, thank you for the notation on Spain, who clearly used them as well with the provincial contacts in Italian context. I had not specifically noted Spain as I had used the broader description of European countries as having used the schiavona style hilt, but mentioned France singly as having these hilts in some cases as to me it seemed an unusual instance.
Clearly I might have chosen better wording. Always appreciated
