Hello folks! Today I want to show a new restoration! I found this broken old rusty rapier at a flea market (now you know what they look like). I have not restored the swords up to this point, and it will be interesting for me and for you. Well, let’s proceed to the restoration.

My first duty was to take the handle apart. I put the steel parts in the rust removal liquid. After washing, dried and applied a layer of anti-rust. The remnants of paint and patina were removed with a wire iron brush. It makes no sense to restore a broken blade because the object is hardened, and to make a tempered, then re-brew it with electric welding will not work
