Hallo Herman,

I'm no HJ expert but from what I can see the reverse rivets look askew which would lead me to believe they may have been replacement rivets. That said, the obverse rivet heads don't look completely good either but I'm sure one of the HJ huys would know for sure.

Are the grip plates flush to the hilt? I'm not sure, they look like they are for the most part but some pics seem to show a bit of a gap.
