Hello Maurice,

Quote:
Any thoughts about the devious looking crest?

I think it is not a normal form, and probably something is broken, or a chip of wood is off, but according the patina a long, long time ago.
Looks indeed like a really old and well-used pommel. I agree that the crest chipped and probably got recarved a long time ago.

Regards,
Kai
