Kampilan with unusual hilt

Very nice and unusual Carlos.
It seems to have a well defined octagonal handle. Would you know if it were wrapped before rattan or otherwise?
I've never seen a pommel like this before.
Thanks for sharing.

When I see hilt pommels like this I immediately look to see if they are cut down from broken "open mouth" pommels and they usually are.

This one, however, is not and is original as is.

It's a lovely piece and a GREAT fine! Congrats!
