Interesting question!!!
Well, i will pass two nails in each side of the the back. If i solder it, probably i will burn the wooden sheath.
I have thought that probably romans first solder the mouth piece, and introduces the wooden part by the chape, being it unsoldered. One time the wooden is in place, then close the chape guttering, and to get the chape closed, then put the terminal and soldered it. It's easier to control the soldering in that way, i think.
Another possibility is to made the top plate without soldering, consisting in two squares as extensions of the mouth plate, one at the fron and one at the back. You put the wooden parts and then turn those extensions 90ยบ one over the other, and make the hole to pass the blade. I have seen some drawings of roman swords and i thought there were made in this way.
How makes yours?
