Kosarice? Star shape pommel on Landsknecht swords

[Jim McDougall]

In 2014/15 in a thread posted by Jasper, the subject was Landsknecht swords with star shaped pommels. In going through the book, "Edged Weapons: Sabers of the Habsburg Monarchy 16th-20th Century" (Konipsky & Moudry, Prague, 1991, p.21), I found a schiavona hilt with one of these distinctive pommels matching a museum example shown in Jasper's illustrations (copyright to him so I hope OK to use here).

Somehow in scribbled notes I had noted that these star shaped pommels were colloquially termed 'kosarice' (a European, Croatian? pastry) and attributed the note to the Konipsky & Moudry reference).

In rechecking this recently, I find there was no such reference in this book
but I cannot verify where I saw this. Perhaps it was Wagner (1967)? which I do not have at the moment.

Can anyone help with this 'kosarice' term used for these star shaped pommels?

Also trying to find this unusual marking,

Kosarice; Slovenian for baskets . Could have a different meaning in context ... like a pommel with a pastry shape ? .

Thanks Fernando, I fear I may have transposed this somehow (hmm, how could that EVER happen?).......so the term kosarice means basket?
I MUST find the reference where I found this........and hope the Drambuie was not a factor in this
