The dimensions and shape of the type H hilt are pretty unhistorical unfortunately - the historical examples are thicker and more elliptical. They look pretty good from the side, but not in the direction of the flat of the blade, if that makes sense. Whether that's an issue for you is another matter! I think the blade is also a bit overly light for this type of piece, so it probably feels lighter in the hand than most historical examples would have.
I haven't seen the type E in person but the same applies to that shape. Should be more elliptical, not 'sharp' at the ends of the guards.
Again, those are my historical criticisms, but whether that matters is up to you!
