If you look closely at the wrap you can see the lump caused by this style of braided cord running beneath the wrapping; plus there is a hole drilled to accept the end of the wrap at the base of the hilt. I'd be willing to bet this work was done way out of the culture it came from.

It is indeed one single wrap... I'm no expert on paracord... someone might be able to place the cord... Post WWII wrap I suspect....
