Hello Barry, and thank you for your kind words. When this arrives I will be posting close-ups of the blade as well as the tang and guard. I will also post pictures showing details of the crack in the hilt. I'm sure that I will also will be asking for everyones opinions on the best way to proceed with the hilt repairs including what will be the best glue for the wood and where to obtain cutlers resin "or pine resin to make my own" to reset the blade with. I just don't like the idea of using epoxy for this type of repair.
Regards,
Robert
