Sorry for late reply, Gene. 
 
"I notice the hole in the handle of your sword is right where I thought the tang would be thinning down to enter the pommel. 
So I guess the tang is wide right up to near the end?" 
-- I am of the same idea, we will see when I overhaul it. 
 
"Are you going to repolish the blade?" 
--I would like to do it and also to etch the blade (for the case...). And to re-wrap the handle. (But everything later, not now). 
 
Regards, 
 
Martin
