You are wellcome.

Looking again your last picture, I think the pommel is not so much champagne cork as those of troopers, so probably came with the shells.

I love the opening line in this thread...……."Its Bilbo Time'!!! and this great analogy of the 'champagne cork' pommel

Just fun in looking at these intriguing swords, great input and examples, and light perspective. Thanks guys!
