 I have seen a few altered mounts retro fitted for shin gunto, mainly iron tuba where the hole for the chuso was just punched through the plate. I wonder if they were seen as superior "ancestral fittings" or just as improvised "can't afford new". I often have the same thought about old blades in Gunto Koshirae.
