Fenris,
What you say is very valid. Thank you for the in-put!

On the subject of old repairs to blades, I find this most interesting!........as it sheds a bit more light on the mind -set of the original owner/s.

(Nothing to do with wether we should mess with a damaged blade now, but I have an old English back-sword from the 1630's that was broken in two just below the hilt, and scarf-welded back together. Am So Glad it was mended and not just dumped!!...... it could have gone forever!)
