Looks like an old warrior to me..

Several years ago i picked up a moro kris with a round kamagong pommel
that had been inlaid with ivory triangles and had a Spanish coin fixed to the
end of the hilt. when i showed it to Bob, he said that he had only seen one
of this type from an old picture that he had run across when he was in the
Phillipines. Since then i recall seeing one other of this kind but i can't re-
member who had it. Regardless, i think that round pommels of any kind on
a moro sword are rare.............Dave.

Sorry for political incorrectness ( no offense meant to anybody), but it looks to me like a recycled brass door handle. Any way to see the opening, ie the surface adjacent to the grip per se?

Door knobs to bicycle parts. I would call it keeping a skilled and crafty eye open to make a very nice thing when you live in the back woods so to speak.

It has taken me many years to find a pommel that is round like the one i have. it might not be as orinate as the one above but i love the simplicity of these pommels
