This piece reminded me of the Fetter Lane Hilt some what.... note the unlikely rivets! :

The hilt is not solid but made from many components surrounding a wooden core....
Though I would have to agree with XorX and think its a either faked or an attempt at reconstructing the hilt, the reason why I think this is, is the unlikely hood of such a perfect organic hilt still existing on such a badly corroded blade....

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
