Seems real old not quite sure what it is.. Gun butt? Pommel? Walking stick top?

Looks like a pommel to me, off of what is the mystery. It could have even been a cane topper.

Is there a hole in the 'dome'?

Found in the USA? If so, what state?

Boy that really looks like a terrific, old find. Looks hundreds of years old to me but couldnt tell you what its off of; gun, knife, sword...

Great find! Late 18th C small sword pommel.

The small sword was a fashionable weapon for the aristocracy in the last 1/4 of the 1700's.

Similar object??

I found something similar with more to it. It looks like an ornate gate hinge. Here is mine

This looks to be the type of sword your pommel came off from...
