			Curiosity got the better of me with this one.  I can't quite make out some facets of how this hilt was put together but I am somehow thinking it is of around 1700, or perhaps a little earlier.  Then again, I may be way, way off.  Either I did well, or paid a premium for a modernistic take on this form.  A military smallsword, or ?????
