[QUOTE="the blacksmith, post: 10322717, member: 20148"]Looks like a sort of fantasy piece, as that grip wouldn't give a very good grip on a knife for actual use. As for the type of helmet on the pommel, this looks like it is a burgonet, which would have been used by the conquistadors, and came out in the early 1500's. Most people assume that theConquistadors would have used morions, but the burgonet was a far more efficient and easier to produce type of helmet, and was inuse right througout the sixteenth century.
