Sticking various types tpgether?... you can not do this.
Well you can because it would be a game. I'm not saying that I would customise my sword during the action like you would attach a scope to a gun rail, I'm not saying you would run around sticking this type blade onto a so and so hilt then take a fancy to this quillon I picked up off this chaps sword, remove it and plonk it on mine in real time or after a battle. No that is silly.
But in a persistent game which would allow me to customise my kit, it would represent me wandering down to the local blacksmith, dropping a bag of silver in his hand and saying "make this, like this". Blade, tang, pommel, hilt and all. In a game where you rank and grow wealthy and can then afford the nice more ornate work on your sword and commission shiny new blades. That is what I would like.
