Having seen the piece in its entirety all I can say is !wow! what a beautifully made and proportioned blade !!
The form is close to perfection, IMO .
Now the problem would be whether to leave the old soldier as he is or go full restore ?
I think I would just try to stabilise it were it mine .
The piece speaks for itself just as it is .
