Hello Russel, I have seen a few with this style of panel on the hilts before but never any evidence of splitting where the panel was mounted. I would think that these are a purely decorative feature as adding more nails in this manor (in a straight line in an already weakened area) would not be of much help in trying to stabilize the wooden hilt, but I could be wrong.
 Best, Robert |
