So its the same symbol that Fernando recognised on the sail guard dagger Casey has.
Here is an example of a 16th c sword with a scallop shell type pommel and a rapier that has the shell decorations all over its guard, Poldo Pezolli museum Milan
Notice that the rapier has the same typy of quillion block with thick side walls to hold the blade firm.

Kind regards
