Basket hilt
I have recently acquired (for a song) a Cold Steel Broadsword as shown in the first picture on this page... http://boldblades.com/html/basket_hilts.html
All of these type reproductions have the ubiquitous red felt-like lining(?) in the basket. Would that have been "correct" for the period or would leather/hide have been the material of choice? Or nothing at all?
