* Change 1 Part Flat Silver {30173 Minifigure, Weapon Sword, Shamshir/Katana (Octagonal Guard) to 30173b Minifigure, Weapon Sword, Shamshir/Katana (Square Guard) with Uncapped Pommel and Hole in Hilt}
Comments from Submitter:
The existing variant was phased out at the end of 2011. Swords from the following year are the variant with the square guard. All other versions of this set have the 30173b variant in their inventories. Hole is also visible in entry photo.
