Great score Albert, and a really deserving guy to get these fine pieces.

I have head that an epoxy called “JB Weld” has been successfully used in repairing metal.

I have not used this, but have friends in ancient weapon collecting who have been very pleased by the results. Of course it won’t stand up to battle standards, but it might be good enough for display and normal handling.

If it does not work, you could then try a blacksmith. I try to disturb old metal as little as possible.
