You are right in what you say about blocking, why not just have a thicker spine.

Show me a genuine antique dao with nine rings and I'll offer a genuine reason for the rings being there ;-)

The one in the second photo I linked in the original post looks like it could either be an antique or a good repro.

Any ideas, then, because I sure don't have any.
