Polish L-guard sword: restoration project

[G. McCormack]

of course, now seeing the electrical welding post, that's totally another matter, and moves beyond any definition of 'conservation'

Salaams G. McCormack ~For normal mortals (like me), naturally, this technique carries the addendum " Dont try this at home ! "
My own level of expertise I would have had to stop at the point of rust removal /neutralisation. I believe that museum restoration departments went for ultra sound treatment at one point but found it too aggressive and I wonder if this is a better solution. I've never seen the carbon treatment nor the electric weld technique before though both appear very viable. This is a new level. The before and after shots of the striker group are amazing.

I wonder what the finished sword will look like?

Excellent detail Evgeny_K thank you for posting.
