Fabric On Hilt
I've found an image to add to the group of swords with fabric or leather around part of the hilt. It's on p89 of
Asiatische Blankwaffen
Asian Edged Weapons
Deutsches Klingenmuseum Solingen
(Barbara Grotkamp-Schepers & Maximilian Berkel)
This pulouar seems to have a similar dark wrap around part of the hilt.
