Salaams Blue lander ..I think the type of bulbous pommel must be one of the common Tuareg styles perhaps as a direct result of the Khoumya Berber style and the other is probably the cross shaped pommel.(designed onto the Tuareg weapon from the famous Southern Cross star form)..
I have placed a few different types for perusal....and comment.
There is an excellent Tuareg weaponry thread at http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=17723
