Abstract: Revisiting a path-integral procedure of recovering gauge invariance from anomalous effective actions developed by Harada and Tsutsui, it is shown that there are two ways to achieve gauge symmetry: one already presented by the authors, which is shown to preserve the anomaly in the sense of standard conservation law, and another one which is anomaly-free, preserving current conservation. It is also shown that the aplication of Harada-Tsutsui technique to other models which are not anomalous but do not exhibit gauge invariance allows the identification of the gauge invariant formulation of the Proca model, also done by the referred authors, with the Stueckelberg model, leading to the interpretation of the gauge invariant map as a generalization of the Stueckelberg mechanism.
