Another Philippine Sword

Ian,
Could you possible tell me where I could get pitch to reset the blade into the hilt? I've removed it to put the guard in the right position and would like to use pitch to reset the blade. I'm thinking that at some point in time it came loose and who ever it was that put it back together used Elmer's Glue to put it back in one piece. Thankfully they didn't use epoxy instead! As to the age I was thinking that with the ferrell being made of brass sheeting formed and soldiered to form it that it was hopefully pre WWII.
