Restoration Rusty Rapier

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, there will be no flexibility and elasticity. That's why my friend helped me out. He just sent it to me (he gave it to me because he didn't need it).

The surface was sanded with sandpaper. Then I cleaned the surface with a solvent and applied a primer in two layers. Then I applied light blue paint. I chose dark blue as the main color, due to the lack of nickel plating. I cleaned the wooden handle from dirt and dust.

The surface of the handle was carved. I went through all the places with the handmade chisel as much as possible to restore the surface as much as possible. It was difficult because the tree has aged a lot and has become soft. To strengthen it, I applied a primer after the woodwork, and then painted it with a colorless varnish to protect the surface.

I washed the rubber washer well and oiled it so that the rubber does not dry out. I ground the nut at the end of the handle. Furthermore, I added the missing part to the handle, but I took it from the bearing.

As usual, I made a test for you. Thank you all for your attention. Health and success!

Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!
