Narrative:

On arrival on a clear VFR day we were vectored to intercept the final approach course at the FAF. We were doing a visual backed up with the ILS. We were in the process of slowing and configuring when we turned on final. I selected the speed to target speed for flaps 30. The speed was deselecting/disarming the auto throttles. The auto throttles reengaged during configuration causing the throttles to increase thrust. I disengaged the auto throttles and configured. We were stabilized by 1;000 feet. During landing I flared a little late which resulted in a skip or small bounce. The extra speed for the gusty conditions prevented a harder landing. During the skip/bounce the wind gusted and forced the nose up. I immediately corrected to keep the nose on the horizon. The aircraft settled back onto the runway and the rest of the flight proceeded without incident. During a post flight walk around I didn't notice any evidence of a tail strike. The event was a result of a late flare on landing accompanied by gusty wind conditions.

Title: A B737-400 crew reported a tail skid strike although they were not aware of its occurrence during the previous landing in gusty conditions.
