Looks like the knuckle-bow is metal and the carved pommel is wood.

Ian, I see what you are referring to. The hilt carving does seem to look somewhat like the head of a crested bird of some type, possibly a rooster. As for the file work, even though it is in the same area as what is sometimes found on a minisbad it is not quite the same pattern as any that I have seen so far.

Best,
Robert
