magnificant jambiya - translation needed

[archer]

Hi, Have you decided to repair your fantastic jambiya ? I had a thought that I believe that some similarly broken keris are repaired by drilling out the tang from the blade base and inserting a new one this would allow for braze, solder or even cold epoxying. The hilt portion of the tang may be heated enough with a heavy soldering iron to the remaining tang, or it may be anchored by usually white crystalized cuttlers' glue. The glue seems readily melted by warm water. Something like these steps would restore its' appearance. Steve
