Yes, i didnt checked that when i was purchasing it, on this type of "military saber" i would definetly expect that place to be worn out, if it was caried, but why i didnt check it out is becouse saber in general looks little carryed, so there wouldnt be that much wear there, but there is no wear at all, not even 0.01 mm, as other things on saber indicate (leather on handle worn out, bruises on scabbard (metal parts), blade etc, but leather on scabbard is also in too good condition for saber that is worn, it is relatively soft leather.

But i encountered on some turkish and persian saber which are original and 100% genuine, that there is no wear in ring holders, why i realy dont know, maybe they werent caried on the body like this saber but was fixed to horse, they were caried by high ranking warior and saw little use, on the back secured by strings etc.

But it is interesting thing, so wear on place where ring is isnt allways indicator of age, and doesent wear out like on others, materials, way of carry, way of construction of ring holder etc.

But this saber is undoubtadly not genuine, somebody gave a lot of efort to make her that good looking.
