Musivarius thanks, I will post pics of bits when I get up to workshop been away weekend
Caballo I also have come acroos a lot of pommels from that period, but who on some dusty shelves in storage stons with holes in may lurk and not Identified or classed as loom weights?
Kai I did not weigh the hilt so I will see if I can get it back and weigh And see if I can compere it to a wooden one. Looking at the pommels though they tend to be smaller than wood examples so the weight is partly ballanced out.
It looks like the stones in the middle of the photo could be for pommels and you can compare them to the hilts in photo for size. As for handling it feels no different to a wood/bone pommel. Thanks for the feed back
Regards Brennivs
