I often feel there are pics I'm not getting; I have pics of the sword and its hilt; none of the nails. the nails are almost certainly an after-market tightening. Now, a tightening I've seen routinely on these is that one or both of the lagnets it hammered down to the blade, and I've also seen little flat discs of metal used as wedges in this region.
