Any idea of what I just purchased

Hi Ken:

I tried enhancing the pictures you posted, and the handle is a bit more visible in one of them.

That tang extension may have been for a missing pommel, possibly a lion or an eagle shape, as well as for holding the missing guard piece(s). the green grip may be a bit further forward that it was when the guard piece was there.

Yes, with a quillion block, and cap/pommel, that all might add up.

Cheers
