Knife hilt and unknown copper ball

[Eastcoasthunter21]

Hello everyone and thank you in advance for looking.
I found these two items today and one I think might be a knife hilt or dagger hilt
The other is a small copper ball with designs all over it looks like snakes on it any
Help would be great. Thanks and hh gl.

Could it have attached to the hilt? Looks like something was broken off on the one end.

Awesome. Looks like part of a hilt from an early 19th C smallsword. The smallsword was the personal weapon of choice for gentlemen of the late 18th & early 19th C.

You might want to post this on a sword forum or contact a blogger interested in these swords. I looked a little more and to my eye this piece could easily be from the early 18th C.
