Well, sure, and after that face reassembly of the hilt, fashioning contemporaneous mastique, reattaching the tang band, and then go back to square one: how to re-attach the crossguard. Looks to me like scratching your right ear with your left big toe.

Get yourself a Dremel and spend 15 minutes freeing the crossguard and removing all traces of epoxy. Buy this:

Devcon steel epoxy. Apply thin layer of the mixture to the sites of metal-to metal contact You will have to use literally microscopic amounts of it, with no oozing outside the borders and the strongest bond available: it is used industrially and , when hardened, can even be machined. If you overfill the bonding surfaces and the epoxy becomes visible, then, when it is still soft, just wipe the undesireable traces off with cotton wool wetted gently with alcohol. Hold together tight for 15 minutes, then let it cure for 24 hours.

Overall, piece of cake.
