That is a euro style foil grip....

Strangely, my son (age 8) is into fencing. Did some reading. Turns out, the grip for the foil is what the Luger is based on - Euro cav officer gets a pistol, should feel like the sword he has been carrying. Additionally, the grip for the saber is what the 1911 grip style is based on - again, US cav officer gets a new pistol, should feel like his sword.

That said, there are moldable puttys out there - have your guy get some and an old broken foil w/ missing grip (tang should still be there) and see what you can come up with. Once molded in hard putty, shoudl be fairly easy to dupe
