This guy just came in the mail today. Nothing too noteworthy about it other than it being a bit smaller than I expected. If the pommel came from a European sword, it must have been from some small ceremonial court sword. I've attached a picture of it next to a small sword pommel.
There's what appears to be a nail head at the tip of the pommel as well. This probably was where the sword tang would have been peened.
