This extraordinarily rare "Renaissance pommel" from ca. 1550 was carefully handcrafted and "congenially" completed into a sword in the 19th century. Original weapons with such pommels are practically unknown. Cf. R. Forrer: Die Schwerter und Knäufe der Sammlung Carl von Schwerzenbach, 1905, p. 47, Plate XI.
