Indeed, the crossguard will be re-made (or probably replaced) with an S-curve. I paid for the full hilt package, and had no reason to go for an color other than black. So, the sword will look much like the catalog shot of a finished sword seen here:

All the little flairs that will distinguish the sword as mine will be added by myself. I've got some linen-weave rough silk that I'll tie and wrap onto the scabbard that will add a punch of dark green. And I'm trying to contact some metalsmiths that offer to create custom reproductions of antique coins (defaced, of course).
I'm trying to get a reproduction of a German 16th century silver taler to integrate into the scabbard or a sword knot.
A faux 16th century German sword. A faux 16th century German coin. At least I'll be consistent in my delusion. ;)

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
