Hi All,
i've just bought a police hanger with a loose hilt, these are constructed with a peaned tang, can i tighten things up by hammering the end of the tang or can this cause some damage.....?
Thanks, Steve.

The short answer is yes. However, there are some qualifiers and considerations.
Is this an antique? If so, proceed with extreme caution. Hopefully Jordan, Uhlan or one of our other local experts can give specific guidance.
If it’s a repro, just go slow and easy with a ball peen. It’ll be fine.
