I have been looking into stone hilted swords, pommels or complete handles. I have found other than references to them very few pictures are around 
So I have made a example from various sources and I hope I have captured the feel of this type 
the guard is made from jade, the grip is antler and the pommel is marble, it is still in the thinking stage the ballance is very good I have used bone as spacers between the shoulders and pommel nut to stop cracking the material as one pommel has already broke in too 
ad: I am looking at a Roman blade that has been altered in Barbarian hands like some of the Vimose finds so I will be doing Roman/Barbarian scabbard fittings but again still in thought stage
