If it's possible to pull off the hilt now that the peen's broken, you could perhaps try working out where the drilling holes would go, put them through BEFORE you put the tang through and check that the tang lines up with the holes, then fill up the hilt with epoxy and stick the tang in there, drill the holes through the tang itself with the pre-drilled holes for guidance, and install pins... that was one heck of a run-on sentence but I hope that made sense...

Old post, but new to me. Lesson learned: A the first sign of structural problem send it back or get it fixed! I happen to think that a chopper like a falcata should be able to occasionally hit something hard without structural damage. It was designed to hit shields and with a little luck the curved tip would get around the edge enough to hit the enemy. Whether this was a defective sword or a defective design by Windlass I don't know, but this particular one was not battle ready by any reasonable standard.
Swords were made to cut flesh and small bones and occasionally hit big bones. Hitting a small piece of wood with moderate force a few times should not do structural damage.
