So, there it is in it's current glory. It appears that it had one guide just below the ferrule, and a typical double (180 deg. apart) guide part way up the top section. I can see pretty clearly where all the decorative wraps were, I'm going to measure and document their location and replicate it as closely as possible. There are two scraps of thread left, one a dark red, almost burgundy, and black, so I'll use those as a guide.
