See if you can get this guy to repost his pics in PM, I don't want to disassemble mine.

Scott Rodell says the screw welded on to secure the tang to the pommel in modern swords has never broken for him. You'll see this in nearly ever modern chinese sword unless it's a two hander, sadly. And the two handers usually also have it, just with 2 wood pegs through the tang instead of one.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT
