I think Dan is on to something. Its been ground onto for Sure. Bright steel is not 80+ years old middle hole looks new i think. Most telling go back to first full shot next to saya. The ji does not line up with nakago. There its in the middle off center above.

The obvious question is is why is it in NCO mounts. Maybe the second one ive seen in 30 years of Nihonto. A real puzzle. Were the fittings on tight or loose?
