I respectfully disagree. I think it looks overall more like a smallsword hilt, particularly the un-branched, hornlike finger rings.
Somehow I agree that's part of the sword, I am more interested in the period in which it was made, Is it possible that this is WW1/WW2? Like most finds on this terrain..
17th-18th century.
