Hi David,

It looks like the handle had been changed. The tsuba, seppa and fuchi with press clip are Type 3 (intro 1943), but the complete handle with kashira (endcap with tassel), is from a Type 94 or 98 (intro 1934/modified 1938). It looks like someone was lucky enough to find a handle (tsuka) that fitted the blade, but one of the peg holes is now "extra"?

regards,

George.
