Is there any evidence for them on Naue II's or Mindelheims? Do you have any ideas on what would be the most historically plausible way to incorporate one? |
Not that I know of, but it seems easy enough to tie a rope around the handle. The big pommel will surely keep it from falling off, and the waisted grip will keep it from sliding too much.
Interesting thing about the pommel. I had not noticed it before on Urnfield swords.
Interestingly, my tulwar has almost exactly the same pommel, including knob with hole... But I have to admit to having no clue about the purpose of this hole either. It seems a bit small for a lanyard.
