Just ran across this article while googling for something else, could it be a version of this pommel type?
hrcak.srce.hr/file/42051 Z. DEMO: Srednjovjekovni mačevi, VAMZ, 3. s., XVI-XVII (1983-1984) “The sabre with an S- shaped cross (no. 6) is a tvpical example of the weapons used in the middle of the 15th C. (Fig. 2, Plate 2:3, 4:3). The hilt of his type of sabre, with it's characteristics length for a one-and-a-half-handed grip has, as a rule, a simple flat pommel, level on the longer side, and slightly circular or polygonally shaped shorter side with a circular boss with a concave dimple in the centre. In reference to the distribution of the known finds to date of this type of sabre, it should be classified as a typical weapon for the Croatian-Hungarian area. The shape and format of the blade distinguishes at least three particular variants of this type of sabre: a) a blade which widens in the lower third with a marked point at the beginning of greater width; b) a blade which widens in the lower third with a fuller (channel for blood); These two variants contain elements characteristic for sword blades of the 14th and 15th Centuries, especially for types XIII, XV and XVI, c) a blade without a fuller (or with only a very short and shallow channel) and without any widening of the blade in the lower section.” |
