You can see why the hilt totally threw me off of the scent here
Is it possible that it represents a specific area of manufacture, or do you think it is definately just an 'oddity' with no great relevance?
Thanks again for your help
Also Kudos to Lew, who nailed it straight off and Devadatta who came in close with Crete.
