What about the possibility for a musicians hanger? What is peculiar to me about this one is the two other holes in he casting. Are they threaded or just blind holes?
Are we certain we are looking at a sword handle? I agree that is the most likely but we need a sibling to confirm the lineage.
There are the French cockerel handles but those are quite different birds. Eastern European? I like to blame Romania for eagle pommels but examples are scarce and none were cast handles. Poland? I just don't know.
