If bought from Amazon, will I get the version of the grip with the extra set of "rings" near the pommel, or the old one with only one set of rings?

Ours came with the longer handle or the extra set of rings. I believe that's what is pictured. The difference is length the old one was a hand and a half grip. The new is a two handed. Expect the two handed.

the one I received has the dog ears, just like the pic. I found right off that allowed me a really good grip for close work like carving, shaving something down, or using in large game animal butchering.

I did some googling and see what your version looks like. I think you do have the new version. Mine looks exactly like the one in the picture. My understanding is that this model was discontinued, so maybe what happened is they brought it back again and changed the appearance slightly. For what it's worth, I think this is my #1 favorite tool in my woodworking shop. Solid, reliable, and fits perfectly in the hand. I'd be curious to know if there are any functional differences between the old and new models.

I think it's instantly more tacky than the original leather grip. If you stretch the grip tightly while you're wrapping it over the handle, especially at the start on the butt end where I grip it, it seems to last long enough that I never worry about the cost of replacement. Also if you clean the handle after removing the original grip and let it dry, it seems to stick better. No more overgrips for me.

Yes it is, The cheeper hand grips are poorly made compared to the original hand grips with all the control markings on the cheeper version coming off after just a bit of use, and the controls themselves start to malfunction after a short period of time. The original grip is just better made, and from my experience is worth the extra money you will never have a problem with it. I hope this helps.

Remove old, definitely. Grip size important but replacement should not make difference.

From hilt to end of pommel it's 4 3/4 inches. Actual grip length is 4 1/4 inches.

My copy of the clamp is not marked, and the packaging material is long gone. Perhaps you would wish to contact Bessey. After buying this item, I obtained a used example in a purchase of a large number of clamps. The used Bessey was manufactured in 2000 in Germany. I can see no differences in quality or construction between the new clamp and the old, save that the new one has a fancy self-adhesive logo. Plastic parts are identical in quality and thickness, the strap is the same, the handle and ferrule are identical; no differences.

Rings must be gotten separately. I simply used those that were used earlier.

I received the same thing. I would rather have received the one pictured. I'm not sure if Ace Martial Arts is even aware of there bad picture. Its a nice sword though.

I havent seen any changes in this model but they sell a set with all black grips that have better locks.

My sword has only 2 rings near the hand guard. My Italian Long Sword is (in my opinion) basically a Hand & A Half sword with a blade length of 35.5"; total length of 44.5"; and a 9" handle (including the pommel). I bought mine thru Amazon late 2010 or early 2011.

They are actually the same grip. In the pic where the grip looks different, it's only because the grip is not screwed on straight and what you're seeing is actually the under side of the grip. If you look closely at each picture you'll see what I mean. Nice piece of gear for the price compared to what else is out there. I'm perfectly happy with mine. Happy shooting!

I first purchased off Smazin from a third party seller and only got one dumbbell. Returned it, ordered from Amazon and got both. Be careful who you buy from.

Hey there. It looks like Amazon replaced the original picture that I had put up for my listing, it seems that the SKU numbers are the same for both versions. The one that I have available is the one of Luke. I do not have the other in stock. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!
