A NICE EXAMPLE WITH UNUSUAL CARVEING. THE HANDLE FORM MORE CLOSELY RESEMBLES THE FORM REFERED TO AS THE SWALLOWTAIL THAN THE CROCODILE FORM. THE CROCODILE HAVING AN EYE AND WHAT CAN BE CONSIDERED TEETH IN THE JAW WITH A BROADER MORE SQUARE LOWER JAW.
THE LOWER JAW ON YOURS IS OF THE LESS SEEN MORE CURVED AND SHARP POINTED FORM. THE CARVED DESIGNS APPEAR FLORAL TO ME WITH NO EYE AND DIFFERENT FROM THE NORMAL SWALLOW TAIL. THE HOLE IN YOURS MAY BE FOR A TUFT OF HAIR OR CLOTH. THE HOLE FOR ATTACHING THE GRIP WRAP IS USUALLY LOCATED CLOSER TO THE GRIP. THIS PICTURE SHOWS TWO HOLES ONE PLACED WHERE YOURS IS ( THIS HOLE APPEARS TO BE MORE DECORATIVE THAN FUNCTIONAL) AND THE OTHER AT THE BOTTOM AND NEAR THE GRIP OFTEN USED FOR ANCHORING THE BINDING. I AGREE WITH JOSE THE MAJORITY OF KAMPILIANS I HAVE SEEN DID NOT HAVE OR USE THESE HOLES FOR ATTACHING BINDINGS BUT SOME MAY HAVE DONE.
