Could the pommel / ebony handle just be later replacement (in the 18th C), perhaps due to damage or refurbishment
 . It does seem that the pommel has been there for some time. Surprised that someone suggested you place your thumb in the 'ring' ....ouch  I also noticed that the 'ring' appears to be heart shaped....is that the case? Regards David |
