Default Gunong With Questions.

I've had this small gunong for a month or so now ( it was pointed out to me at auction by a very kind forum member) and thought it was time to ask a few questions about it. First, the guard and collar are cast in one piece. This is something that I have not seen before. Does this help pinpoint who it was that made it and help in where and when it might have been made? Second, the blade of this piece was not attached very well and pulled free from the grip with little effort. It was inserted where the point was pointing up not downward like it is in the photos. Which is the correct way for the blade to be positioned, point up or point down like it is now? My thank to anyone who might be able to help in answering these questions. The blade on this is 6-5/8 inches in length and 1-1/4 inches wide at the guard. Total length of this piece is 9-3/4 inches. Again, I apologize for the poor picture quality but it has snowed over 12 inches here in the last two days making it a bit difficult to take them outside.

Best,
Robert
