Jose, here are a couple of photos that show the end cap a little better.

Thank you Robert. Nice to see the details. Different plant motif than I am used to seeing.

Hello Jose, It is quite different from what I have seen too. I think it is a piece that was re-purposed off of some other item possibly a chair leg or some other piece of furniture. It reminds me of one of the other daggers I have (picture below) where thimbles were used for the ferrule and end-cap. Like the old saying goes, Waste not want not.
 Regards, Robert |

tang
Hi Robert,
The tang, is it peened or threaded? I asked the end looks like it would unscrew from the images. Thanks Gavin |

Hello Gavin,
The tang is peened. The piece on the very end where the tang comes through is made of brass while the cap itself I believe to be pewter or zinc. Regards, Robert |
