Nice big beefy blade on this example but I was a bit curious about the hilt.  In one of the pictures I notice an "eyelet".  A rivet with a washer around it very much like what you see in Zanzibar Saif with the Nimcha like hilt.  I was curious if this was a reshaped Nimcha or Saif hilt hence the need for the metal border around the entire hilt?
