Traditionally these do tend to have short pierced tangs held in place by a pin or nail..... so all is as should be there.

I think the grip was originally wrapped with wet twisted goat skin lacing. Maybe 1/4 inch wide. Died a British Tan before you begin. Sort of the local/period take on a para-cord wrap.
