Since the blade appeared to have round copper inserts at one time, could the rectangular cutout at the base of the hilt at one time also have been adorned with copper, brass,etc., which is now missing?

Thank you! I also like the result overall)
I don't remember seeing blades with a similar recess. Do they exist?
