Hi Sajen,
I like the broken crest where the old restore is visible.
I rather like them this way and don't want it to be restored (but tastes differ).
I am sure that it is possible to find one. I was looking for this one for quite some years, and believe it or not, after chasing after morocollectors to get one like this, epray was the solution afterall....
I didn't polish the metal, I just sanded the blade to get rid of the surficial rust and black spots/pitting.
I attached two more images of the cleaning/etching result.
Kind Regards,
Maurice
