Yes, all true.

Except for who might have put it together, & I'm not prepared to speculate on that, simply to ask for one speck of genuine evidence that might be able to support some opinion or another.

Maybe demount the hilt & see what is holding it in place.

If it had a different hilt on it I might be a bit more inclined to be persuaded, but I've simply seen too many of these marriages over the years to want to play guessing games.
