Possibly we should be looking more at the hilt/handle construction and form for origin clues .

My example appears to be layers of leather topped off with horn scales, and the decoration seems to have been burnt in .

They certainly resemble nothing else I have ever seen in 16 some years of collecting .

Then again, that's not saying much .
