Mine is certainly the only one of those pictured that has much or a ricasso. It's also a lot thinner than the rest of the blade. Probably by half. The central ride on the waved section is really tall. I'll see if I can get a good picture of it tonight

Oh, and to clarify something, in my estimate of age I meant somewhere between mid 1800s and WWII. I thing I've read somewhere on this forum that the style of sheath (with the interdigitating segments of horn) was produced in that time range, but I could be misremembering. I love this style regardless.

Thanks,
Leif
