The pin mostly does not go through to the other side, and the hole is often hidden by a flower like on Norman's sword.

Hi, the segmented disc is typical to Lahore (Sind) swords.

Hi Norman,
You can't be sure till you have removed both flowers - can you? However I would not do so - I would leave it an be happy with it as it is :-). |

Hi Jens,
I seem to have an odd one, the pin does go all the way through (see photos), but it also has this floriate/vegetal decoration in the small fuller and on the spine which also seems rather unusual. My Regards, Norman. |

Hi Norman,
Sometimes the pin goes the whole way through the hilt, and sometimes not. The floral scroll looks nice, and is sometimes seen on blades. Jens |
