Hi Ed,
Saw today a few urn-pommels,
Wither's "World Swords": German c.1600 Two handed sword. German Two-handed Stoc. C. 1500, both in p. 18. German Executioner Sword c. 1680 p. 14. and a squared sided version on p. 16, set on a German Bastard Sword c. 1600.
In Bull's "An Historical Guide to Arms and Armor" there's another couple of these pesky beasties on p. 104 set in two German Two-handers of C. 1580.
I mean, there aren't two exactly alike, but the design and form is there, quite apparent.
Best
Manolo
