pistol handle or sword hilt?

[alderan33]

The item I originally thought was a pistol handle may well be a sword handle. After electrolysis a pattern began to emerge with some very cool designs.
I think I can make out the letters S H as indicated by the orange arrow.
This is one half of the piece. The other is now in the electrolysis vat.
Any help on the ID would be most appreciated.

I'm usually wrong but it kinda looks like an old cap gun or toy gun handle.

I have to agree with the lady, broken toy cast iron pistol. Definitely not a sword handle.
