Fixing grip wires?

[celtan]

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

This is such a sweet, beautiful, and graceful saber, that seing all those wires flip-flopping around truly pains me. I don't know if i'll be able to keep my paws in check...

I believe this piece to be an early 19th C. Swedish naval saber, ~1800-20?. I got it under the label of late 18th C. If anyone has more info, kindly let me know.

Best

Glue or just leave it alone would be best (especially leaving it alone).
