I was convinced I had seen a sword with barretas secured under the Turk's Head knot but I must be mistaken because I certainly can't find it now.
The majority I saw secured under ferrules seem to be Bilbos which I understand comes from the city name Bilbao which is Iberia right?
Anyway, if they were never fitted to my sword then it is complete which is what was disturbing me and - as Fernando suggested - I was going to make some, but was perplexed where they would be secured.
Thanks for your help Folks.
