Scent stopper pommels like this are so named after their resemblance to the ornate caps of glass perfume bottles, or so thought Oakeshott when he classified them. Scent stopper pommels were common across Western Europe from the 14thC to 16thC, with particular usage on the ends of longswords and bastard swords. The longer pommel could allow for that extra little bit of room to grip and gain leverage when fighting.

Pre-made hilt furniture like this is the perfect thing for those that are either making swords from scratch or repairing well-worn beaters, all the way to seasoned blacksmiths looking to save time and improve margins. Fitting sword furniture like this is a simple but rewarding process, provided you have at least a little bit of time, effort, and know-how.
