First and foremost, what a lovely gunong! And I wish I could do half as good of a cleaning job.
Secondly, the "belt loop" on the scabbard is unusually isn't it? I don't think I've seen one like this on an older one before. Is this maybe a latter addition? The color of the metal of matches both the metal bands and the ferule/guard, so if it is latter, it's a good match.
Thanks,
Leif
