'Bordón' is the chiselled/shaped tip of the handle (lever) but I'm afraid I can't find a translation.

'Bordón' comes from the French ' bo(u)rdon', which means pilgrim's staff. In this case, 'bordón' is a pommel.

Heraldry, like language, felt the effect of pilgrims. The pilgrim or palmer's staff was adopted as a heraldic charge. In heraldry the palmer's staff is a tapering stick, terminating in a ball at the top. Often it is accompanied by a palmer's scrip or wallet. This is a kind of satchel, with tassels at each bottom corner, and a strap or sling attached to the top. If used with the palmer's staff, the palmer's scrip is drawn to appear hanging by its strap from the pommel of the staff.

agree  Marie Wilson: That's it. There may not be one correct term for this. A similar word should work if not.

  -> I can only find 'classic', 'antique' but no mention to the chiselled part. Thank you, marie :-)
