Repair, restoration.

Galvano,

In my opinion, if the sword has all parts intact, it's better to keep and preserve it this way - as original as possible. I often come across loose parts, single blades, etc, and I do enjoy restoring the swords by putting them together and trying to end up with as original design as possible. Nothing wrong with restoring and reviving a neglected sword. When people try to beautify the sword by using or replacing original parts with fancy looking enhancements - this is no good (unless there are no original part available).
