There is an additional stud mounted above the top mount which was probably added for the attachment of leather hander.This piece was sourced out of an old Nova Scotia Estate and probably was carried by one of the officers in one of the Nova Scotia Highland Units.  An excellent example of a sword that may have seen service in both the Boer War and WW 1.
