Its clear that the length measurement is wrong and should be no more then @11cm.
The "Sleeve" is made from a piece of iron plate that has been formed into a tube, rather like the grip (Högonas sword) I previously mentioned from an earlier era, except that the join appears to be open, not brazed (or welded) shut, although this may have been destroyed during cremation.
Andronicos actually gives the length of the supposed coupler at 0.17m or 17cm = 6.7". Again, I cannot for the life of me see that as a coupling device.
