I felt that way about the shape too, but was bothered by the segmented look.

Found another example

while looking for sarute, I have been looking for barrel screws as well.

does this look odd to anyone?  All the barrel screw pictures I see have a linear input/output of the screw that would fall on the eelskin part of a non-NCO sword.  Mine does not appear like that

Early handle is like that, they changed to both side the same later.
