A friend of mine offered me to make me the copper bands.

Any thoughts about the devious looking crest?

I think it is not a normal form, and probably something is broken, or a chip of wood is off, but according the patina a long, long time ago.

Looks indeed like a really old and well-used pommel. I agree that the crest chipped and probably got recarved a long time ago.

Regards,
Kai

I would leave the crest as is this time. It is basically complete, though as Kai says, a little carved long ago.....

Yep I am surely keep the pommel this way and I didn't intent to change anything to the crest. I was just curious about the strange shape of it.
