Hi all,

I think the D guard was probably connected with the nail at the end of the hilt. Btw, is it a nail? I think the "nail" is actually the end of the blade tang that is screwed to make sure the hilt dont slip off. If the hilt ist new, maybe the last owner only made a hilt for it and suit the old brass part for it. Probably..
