Dha for coments

I think that there also is a relation to dha of the style seen in ## 37, 44, 61, C1, C41, and the like, which have a similar "foot" on the scabbard, with varying degrees of flare, and the sectioned scabbard fittings as opposed to bands. The same silver bead and filigree design is also seen on the somewhat differently-styled #45.

Thank you for your comprehensive input, Mark. I think i have picked C60 and C61 instinctively, because of their similar (to mine) type of grip; the collar in silver and the rest all in ivory ... no pommel.
