Pommel #4 is striking. It seems to foreshadow some of the finely chiseled hilt components of the 16-17th centuries.

A similar Viking style pommel to #1 above (cast bronze, five lobes, hole on top lobe for peened tang, hollow and curved base) was discussed last spring in this thread. Suspicions arise that this may have been a British style...

Thank you Lee ,I didn't know that it was a picture you already posted on vikingword. The matter is now most of the pictures found come from Pinterest and it become harder to find the origin of the pictures.

Do you think it could be a quillon terminal ?
