Hello Prasanna,
Thanks for posting that beauty! Any chance to obtain permission to post more pics of this sword (possibly in a seperate thread)?
It looks like the hilt is carved from wood (or horn?) with only a few metal highlights - very nice!
In a tropical climate, this state of preservation would be exceptional for an over 450y old pommel, even considering it being a heirloom piece!
Regards,
Kai
