Joe,
I used a loc-tite quick set epoxy.Iit is in a double syringe system
sets up fast so be careful. certainy strong, and drys clear
to correct an error in my post The sword was a necklace from spencer. you can see the hole in the top of the handle. I am working on my soldering skills so i may try that on the next one. you may be better off staying with epoxy I worry that the solder heat may effect the blue background on your CIB.
Congratulations on the award, wear it with pride....
