[QUOTE=RobT;296795]Hi All,

There are three koummya shown in this thread that have hilts made of a material other than wood.
Jim McDougall’s example, made of camel bone, has very slight quillons made of metal. I can’t see whether or not there are slight projections of bone on the sides of the hilt under the metal.
Pertinax shows another bone hilt with metal quillons. Again, it is impossible to see what is under the metal clearly. Could it be a separate piece of bone laid crossways to the hilt to fill in the area below the metal?

Here is another kummiya with bone inserts
