Hi Michael,
the blade is (always) made out of other steel then the hilt.
therefor in many examples the blade is in a much better condition as the hilt.
the condition and pitting of the pommel matches the condition of the quillon block, but more important in this cases the quillon block has the same fluting as the pommel and thus belong together and can be seen as a pair.

best regards
