Default Low down hole

I've been searching for my perfect schiavona and while this ticks all the boxes, except for museum quality, it has another feature that marks it as exceptional:

It would appear that there is absolutely no fixed rule regarding the hole, its position and/or its use.

the use of the hole is to attach the guard , i would not buy a shiavona with an exact blade as in your picture because that is a 19th c blade.
