Two answers, two opposite opinions. As expected:-)
Imagine I want to sell it ( I am emphatically NOT!!!!!!). Will epoxy diminish the value, and will damar ( or something similar) preserve it? That applies to any other restoration of any other sword, so it affects all of us. |

An interesting puzzle.
Epoxy would certainly sit well and work well with the securing of the guard if it was say only attached at the points it touched the grip slabs but I personally feel the void within the guard would be better filled with a natural more original material. Gav |

Hi Gav,
What would be "original" from your perspective? |

Original for me is a plant based resin/gum.
I would go in to researching the subject if I was opting for choices in that direction. There have been a number of good discussions on the subject of resins. One member I do not think has published his formula but by the sounds of it, it would work very well. I'll see if he has time to chime in. Gav |
