Hello Fernando,

The hilt it came with. When attached in the correct position it does not fit right. It is possible that it is not original to the blade.

IMVHO this is a nice and suitable hilt! (Keep in mind that high quality wood was precious and traditionally regarded to have talismanic/protective power...)
If there is resin inside the hilt, it may be responsible for the seemingly "wrong" fit - should be a piece of cake to reset properly though (after thoroughly heating the tang). You can probe with a hot needle first.
Of course, this hilt deserves to be complemented with a suitable silver clamp. Sorrily, these are common to get "lost" due to the amount of silver put into them.
Regards,
Kai
