Nonoy Tan is right. I'd even say for other groups to. The tang is cut in a way where the tang fits into the slot in the handle with the iron collar for reinforcement.

I also want to add that this piece may be later as well, like WWII.....

As far as modified, I think it is the part opposite the collar.
