Hi Robert,
Doubt you will "find" a guard but one could be made reasonably easily. It is likely to be just a disc, maybe decorated or more likely I think, plain, but maybe with some edge "knurling" of some sort. It really comes down to "how far do you want to go?". Do you leave it as a work knife, or restore to the "dha" format with a new handle?
If the latter is the case then perhaps Andrew or I, can supply a bigger pic from The History of Steel Catalogue,of the item concerned.
