<p>[QUOTE=&quot;the blacksmith, post: 10402155, member: 20148&quot;]I often think of the history of some of the edged weapons in my collection, and think if only they could talk. But then when I think of it, perhaps it is much better that they cannot!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you one and all for the help and advice, it is much appreciated. [USER=37]@verybrad[/USER] I had thought to scrape the top and edges and then perhaps very fine garnet paper or flour paper. I could french polish it, but that would not look right I think, so as you say, a light stain and then a generous wax finish is probably the way to go. It will be stunning when done I think.</p><p>i think that the old lady would be very happy that I will have it and look after it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
