Sajen,
I haven't seen one like this neither.
Tom, Battara,
I also think it is not a repair. There are no signs of baka-baka clamps that are missing on the blade so I completely agree with Battara that this one never had baka-baka clamps.
You say Battara, that this is not the first time you see this kind of construction. Any idea what kind of scabbard this one had original?
Gentlemen, thank you for your input.
