It is extremely unlikely such a thing could have happened. It is supposed to be a dredge find from a river, so any parts would be attached to the sword or would have been lost. There is no way this handle would have been reassembled after being recovered, as that would have meant forcefully taking it apart and then on reassembly repeening the tang, something I would not see any restorer do.
