Fidelis I would say it is one of a few ways it could be attached. Glueing would work as the small nails would hold it in place until the glue drys. I myself have not glued the chape on, but as I am not wearing my sword every day I would say that the chape being knocked around probably work its way loose through time :x Also I forgot to mention on the back were the guttering meets the terminal, the drawing shows a triangle of bronze crudely soldered on again this will help strengthen the chape, it has no sign that a nail went through this
