Here is a (to me anyway) unusual hilt for a sword from the Philippines. Grip is horn with nickel silver collar and a brass pommel cap. There is some worn damage to the horn grip. The tang goes all the way through the hilt and is peened over. Blade length is 18" with the hilt being 5-1/2". The shape makes for a very secure grip. All comments are welcome.
