Sword pommel

Hi
Help determine the pommel of the sword.
In Peterson's book, he points to the finding of two or three swords with a similar pommel.
The question is -

1. Is this pommel originally created in this form?
2. Or the pommel has lost its upper part?

In the photo you can see that the shank was riveted right after the first part of the top, although it is well known that the rasp has always completed the opening of the second part.
Gentlemen, what are your opinions?
Regards Alex
