			Thank you  for your interests, insights and comments.  Time to wrap this one up. I've included a comparision photo of the same blade mounted in different styles. One was made for the blade and the other was modified to accomodate the larger blade.  I think I'm just a bit  closer to the casting therory the silver and gold sheaths all appear to be one piece versus the the brass copper and steel sheaths are two pieces soldered together.
