I thought this a most unusual and seldom seen scabbard finial when I saw it and thought it worth sharing as such types are rarely seen and I can't place one in Elgood, Asvatsaturyan, Vedensky, Stone, Lebedynsky, the Kroatien Jatagane reference, the four I have seen from the Moser collection or anything other reference at hand.

The only item showing a 'similar' coloured finial is the trousse, fig 033 in Elgood Arms of Greece.

Comments and discussion most welcome.
