Something Not Seen

 Officers swords were not issue, they had to pay for their own which is one reason for the re-use of old (Edo) blades. There are a lot of accredited oddities in this field.  Without having the piece in hand I would go no further than saying this is not an impossible combination, I am not so bold as to be confident of an appraisal from just a set of photographs.. Regarding the seppa, they are after all just spacers to make a tsuka a nice fit, eg below.
