| It's a pistol grip. Get any pistol grip pommel.
One warning. Some Visconti do have small holes, so unless you have a thin walled outside hex, it might be better to use an inside.

Svirf,
And it can be inside hex (if you are worried about the size of the hole in the grip), outside hex or slotted.
Or you can contact PurpleFencer, aka Sam, at HOM Fencing for a combination nut that will be either an inside (I told him to add a slot to have all three covered, but, do you think he'd listen to his chief engineer? Oh, NO! heaven forbid......   )
If you have the ability to, drill out the hole in the grip to 1/2" dia and you won't have any problems.

In the meantime, i DO have some good outside hex ones (basically they're 5/8" coupling nuts re-tapped to 6mm)
And slots in the nuts are the devil....but i MAY put thm in when i get them made in some quantity....it adds another manufacturing step and threfore cost, tho[/quote] | |

| This is a little off the subject. At all competitions I've gone to that had an Italian team Armorer every Foil had a Camamarri connector. I went to one where the Italians had no team Armorer. The next time I saw a freind who was the Jr. Team Armorer I asked him why. He told me, if anyone brought anything but Camamarri, they would accidently loose it.
When I been with the team, I have lost a number of screwdriver pommels and had to replace them with pommels that actually stay tight.
