Need some sword help!

[ArkRaider]

I have had this sword for about 7 years now. Its been great as a wall display, but I want to do something with it. It is VERY sloppy, the blade moves around mainly. Is there anyway to tighten it up? Here is a picture:

there may be a set screw somewhere hidden in the hilt. If there is no set screw and you want to do away with the sloppy movement on the cheap, shoot some hot glue down the blade into the hilt. Just get the gluw super hot.

You can go for the used look by going over it with some steel wool and giving it a wash of color with acrylic paints. Just thin them out with water and have at it.

It looks like a cheap knock-off of a Marto Excalibur...

If it is, there's a round 'button' at the end of the pommel. This is the nut that holds the whole thing together on the tang of the blade. If it's loose, take it apart and check for cracks, etc. - then, put the pieces back together and, wrapping the nut with a piece of leather or something to protect the finish, tighten it down with a pair of pliers.

If what I've just described doesn't appear to be familiar to your sword, then I might be incorrect.

Yer not supposed to be fighting with it...just hang it on the wall...or in unwelcome guests.

Thanks for the help guys.

I have no plans to fight with it, I am going to make a "Sword in the Stone" display with it and just wanted to tighten things up first.
