Well, the only thing is that the details, especially the ring on one of the fingers, was used on late 19c pieces according to my informants. Spunger even told me that the ring sometimes signified a hidden message inside the hilt and was not used after this period. I have not seen detail in the fingernails like this in later versions of the fist.
