As you may notice, the style of decorations is very different from the Spanish style.

Moreover, both oak leaves and trophies are classic French symbols very frequently found on blades (see excerpts from "Armes Blanches" by Lhoste and Buigne).

That's a very elegant koumaya, to my eyes. There's a restraint in the ornamentation which I find appealing, though I don't know if the locals would see it the same way.

What is the material used in the hilt?

Sorry Bob for the late reply!

The hilt is made of wood.
