The falchion in the foreground carried by the man with the gold lion rampant on an azure field (is that supposed to be Alexander of Scotland?  I know nothing about this manuscript) - is that a d-ring hilt/knucklebow I'm seeing?  Looks a bit like the D-guard falchions that BKS made for the American team of BoTN fighters.
