Alan, you say that you haven't seen many of these so-called "gana" hilts. Would you say that of the ones you have seen that there are a few with some age to them, or are the hilts themselves a fairly recent phenomenon?

The very few hilts I have seen like this have all been old, with good patina. I've never seen a recent one.
