If my guess is right, the real problem is that the nut used to secure the grip in place is fractionally too tall, and sticks out of the pommel recess ever so slightly, preventing the pommel from screwing on all the way. To fix you could either go to a decent hardware store with the nut and see if you can find one that is the same thread size and hole but dimensionally shorter, or simply take the nut, clamp it in a vise leaving it protruding out and use a file to file it down however much is needed. One way or the other this should be a pretty easy fix.

Well it's not the nut, It seems to be the pommel because even with the grip and nut removed, I can get it on so it won't fall off but I can't tighten it to a point were it stops. It can keep turning and turning, I think it just needs to be resewn by epoxy seems like a good idea

The nut will just keep turning and never tighten? Sounds like the thread is stripped. Can you get some better, clear pictures, and we can give you a definite?
Sir Nate:
I'll have more pics either Friday or Monday. (Sword is at other house)
Chuck G.:
Would it also be possible to get a picture of the tang without the cross, grip and pommel in place (i.e. the bare sword). Curious to see how big it is.
Sir Nate:
ya of course.
Sir Nate:
