the doward crossguard is not based on any chiense swords it is based on swords of the arab world the as is the grip. there is many exaples of middle eastern inspired swords in spain as well as machete swords popular in cuba.. the swedish even had a yatagan inspired hander for in the 1800s. there was a couple fo waves of eastern athetics in european weapns.. those eared daggers from italy are another example .. influenced by some now extinct dagger from the levant. in also sure in eastern countries there was a crazes for various european influenced arms

in freance in the 19th century there was a taste for chinese inspried drummers ect small swords and many styles were produced.
i guess the best example is the mamaluke generals sabre that is still used by many countires.
people forget how much epople do like wepaons.. and in the ottoman empire, balkans.. europe ect was alot fo fads and crazes.. arabs taking to daggers influenced by the caucasus, balkan epople using knive sinfluence dby the caucasus.. north africans buying european blades ect. epople liek new exotic things or stylish things. an arab influenc eon a sword in iran or a turkish fashion in france will always be interesting
