Jens,

I have swords here with some similar aspects but not all aspects in the one hilt.

One has a very similar squared off disc pommel and some untranslated script to the quillon block. A very strong and bold hilt type with an Indian made pattern welded blade of near exact 1796 light cavalry profile and dimensions.

Another has the very similar fine quillon ends with the more globular profile rather than the typical hemisphere.
This hilt with the finer globular quillon ends shared a similar refined slender shape but is distinctly different.
