Here is a very similar example from my collection. In this example they opted for some fancier options. But the basic form is the same. Look at the shape of the main body of the cross guard and the tapered central raised portion of it. This is identical to the Saxon marked example posted. The quillons on this example are fancier, but the finial is the same. Likewise the ricasso form and ricasso. This turned wood grip is a much fancier option, but there are numerous examples with essentially identical grips to the Saxon marked example.
