These are absolutely beautiful, the lion hunt dagger has always been a favourite of mine. Incidentally have any of you taken a look at the war scenes on a) seals and b) ivories? Some would say even better.
In fact I recall one find, listed in the "Polemos : le contexte guerrier en Egée à l'âge du Bronze" series, I think II, which was the most ridiculously brilliant over the top lion decorated sword ever.
re: pommel attachments your best bet is some of Nancy Sandar's work I should imagine, it's an interesting topic (production in general) and is sort of always in fashion.
